Major tech leaders took to social media to tout the benefits of open-weight AI models in a letter signed by Nvidia, Meta, Microsoft, Andreessen Horowitz and others. This comes as Moonshot’s Kimi K3 has been shaking the AI industry, with the debate intensifying over China’s latest AI breakthroughs and the rise of open-weight models. Michelle Giuda, CEO of the Krach Institute for Tech Diplomacy at Purdue, joins Ed Ludlow on “Bloomberg Tech” to discuss why the US needs to accelerate its own open-weight AI ecosystem.

    Huawei was banned was not because it has security issue, it is because US companies can not compete! If not banned, it will drive lots of US companies out of business.

      Huawei communication equipment are still used by US military. LOL!

    Your guest was incorrect citing Huawei is banned by US government. US military has continuously been using Huawei communication equipment under waivers and exemptions.

    Wtf is she talking about security issue here? you can take the open weight model and serve it in US company without giving anything to china.

    She’s truly brilliant. This kind of clarity is missing in the American dialog today.

    “unfortunately” my shiny metal ass, if it wasn’t for chinese open models at this time huggingface would be uberfucked. “unfortunately” people like yourselves still sport global platforms to spread propaganda. “fortunately” instead your time is almost up, yay!

    I can’t wait for this AI-Based US economy to fucking collapse. They can’t compete so they ban, which will be the equivalent of shooting themselves in the foot. There’s no way out.

    The true question is that whether the rest of the world will follow the US ban?

    I’m sure this woman is definitely not a programmer or an engineer — she doesn’t even know what distillation is. Hilarious. Why are there so many women in the leadership of Europe and the US right now? I’m not saying women are bad, but they really don’t understand technology at all — everything they say exists only in their imagination

    I don’t know what coolaid the lady drank. Chinese open source is a security concern? US models are the biggest security concern.

    The US is doomed from the start; Trump and his administration are too incompetent for the tasks that lie ahead. The Chinese are dominant across the board. There is little choice but to bury the hatchet and join forces with the Chinese in order to survive.

    Michele Guida has forgotten that the orange man has pissed off all of our Allies. Furthermore the suggestion that our Allies would use our AI over someone else is slowly but surely becoming a non-starter 🤷🏽‍♂

    How can they be a security risk? THEY ARE OPEN WEIGHT!
    You download those and run them in your business / country!
    Closed source proprietary models that run only via an API / subscription in some sociopaths datacenter are a security hazard: they can limit or shut you down anytime and they steal your data.

    She talks China being America adversary. Yeah I’m pretty sure at this point America has become every country’s adversary.

    An Open source AI as a national strategy is not going to happen in the US because US AI companies are too greedy and want to protect their investments, so they will just lobby to oust its rivals (Chinese open source AI) from the West. Considering that the US has a track record of weaponizing the dollar I doubt the non-Western world will fully embrace and trust any US made AI.

    Does people really understand what Open-source/Open-weight model is and how it actually works?
    When you download the open weight and set up the model for your own use case, the model DOES NOT MAKE ANY API CALL to go out to internet by itself.
    The vanilla model DOES NOT DO ANY TOOL CALLs but reasoning, thinking, and inferencing.
    When you open a Chat window from OpenAI or Claude, you are opening an AI agent built by OpenAI or Anthropic that CAN talk to their associated models for reasoning, in response the model may tell the agents to use certain tools to achieve its goals.
    Now, you can use an agentic tool, like a Chat window, built by yourself (or any open source AI Chat software), and use the open-weight models, again, you get to control what tools the models can use or you control your agentic-tool (or the right term – the agentic harness) that sits on top the open weight model.
    PLEAASE DO NOT SPREAD ANY MORE NONSENSE. The Open-weight models pose NO SECURITY threat, whatsoever, it’s the HARNESS, in this case, you can use an open-source agentic harness from a US company sits on top of the Chinese company release Open-weight model and the model will NOT PHONE HOME and steal your data sending back to China. LOL … clueless reporters, even this lady doesn’t quite understand how AI models works with the AI Agents, LOL.😂😂😂

    Go ahead, ban these Open Weight models, I can’t wait to see most (if not all) of US-based AI startups starting to fail and fall behind their global competitions from all over the world because they lose their competing edge in terms of cost due to the outright clueless BAN by the US idiotic government and media. LOL

    Chinese view of AI as infrastructure which should benefit everyone and American view of AI as business which only benefits the people can afford. That’s why China has more open weight models but American won’t have good open weight models for a quite long time. Also the businesses depend on private data have to use the Chinese open weight models with no other choices. Time will tell the difference in the long run.

    China open weight AI can be inspected, tuned and monitored within your own server farm. Open weight AI will always be more secure than close weight AI. Argument against China open weight AI is pure FUD.

    Guida if wishes were horses beggars would ride. The pipe dream of on shoring friend shoring china plus 1 has proven to what it is a pipe dream. Us trade with china and imports have increased and there is no china plus 1 in sight. Europe. The global south will embrace china open weight models. And usa can just serve 50% of us clients the other 50% will still use chinese a.i on the sly. Because they can still keep their programs in house . As compared to share them with closed a.i and lose their ip. Its not only dollars and cents .its also secuirty of their future
