Open Weights and American AI Leadership

Jensen Huang had an X account for years and never used it, then spent his first post on a three-page policy PDF that fifty companies have now signed. Host Emily Laird reads past the principle and into the machinery, including the one paragraph about distillation that a staffer will read aloud in a hearing room two years from now. You will also get the part the letter does not survive: free weights, expensive inference, a minimum production team that runs half a million a year, and an open ecosystem Washington would be protecting that is already substantially Chinese. Bring skepticism for the numbers, because almost none of them have been independently audited.
