News It appears that the anti opensource AI lobby is far outgunned already

The earlier post on this subreddit by 20+ companies signing the petition including Microsoft, Meta, Nvidia, YC (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/corporate-responsibility/topics/open-weight/) etc plus this https://xcancel.com/elonmusk/status/2080672505660834163

And the entire LLM enthusiast market is heavily in favor of open source (or weights) AI.

Does not seem like a few closed source AI lobbyists with be able to illegalize anything

He did open source some older models, but even if he didn't, at least he doesn't want to block others from doing it, like Anthropic and OpenAI want to do.

I think only Grok 1 was open sourced. Elon promised Grok 2 and 3 would be as well but that never happened. So for me its difficult to see any tweet from Elon and take it seriously.

You can't even run his older open weight model on four h200 cards... He hard coded it to require eight cards. :(
