Jensen Huang: America Needs Open Source to Win AI... Because Open Source Lets Every American Win
@JensenHuang:
“In the last six months, $400B of venture funding went into AI-native companies. 80% of them use open models. If not for open models, how could they build their dream?
Because their dream could be different. Obviously, it'll be different than the frontier labs' dreams.
America has so many different ways to innovate. That's one of our core strengths. Great ideas just coming out of the fountain, and so open models enables that.”
@friedberg:
“Does it matter if the open models come from China or the US?”
Jensen:
“Probably the vast majority of the world's contribution to open source today is coming from China.
They just have a lot more engineers. They contribute to open source today.
We download Linux, we download Kubernetes, we download all the software.
A lot of it has been touched by (the) Chinese, and once you download it, it's yours.
We fork it, we improve it, we make it ours.
And so when you download one of these Chinese models, it just happens to be made by some really great researchers in China, but it's now yours.
If we want to win the AI race, it's not about a few technology companies winning the AI race.
It's about every company in America, every industry, every researcher, every teacher, every student, every startup, everybody wins.
Some of them will use closed models. A lot of them will use open models.”
