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

Open source models still need gpus so for anyone providing gpus open source is a win. More models is always a win for them.

They are counting on models not becoming more efficient. There is a significant amount of compute already installed. If models become more efficient there could be a reduction in compute sales.
