It highlights how open weights AI models that anyone can download, inspect, and run expand access, spur competition, and give greater control to organisations over their data and capabilities. The letter has also drawn endorsements from the biggest names in technology. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella wrote, “Open-weight models are essential to a healthy AI ecosystem.
