Arguably, this move will help AI open source market more. Nvidia has an incentive to make AI open source competitive with closed source. If OpenAI or Anthropic gains in market share, they will eventually gain power over hardware vendors as well, which Nvidia does not want.

Nvidia wants people and companies to go choose a free open model, run that model on Nvidia hardware. And because Nvidia can't fully control what hardware an AI model can run, Apple Silicon and AMD hardware users will benefit as well.

Dude, the source of an LLM is the training data and the training algorithm. Those are not open, so stop calling it open source.

Open weights correspond to "binary available" for software. Nobody would call that "open source".

(Even ignoring the licensing which "open source" normally entails.)

		Many open weight models do actually have open training data and training algorithms -- I think especially some from Nvidia!

		Dude, many of them are open source and open data on Hugging face, including some Nvidia LLM models.
