Open weights moved the concentration rather than preventing it. US models went from 74% of OpenRouter tokens in June 2025 to 20% a year later, and China's commerce ministry is now consulting Alibaba, ByteDance and Zhipu on export controls for its most advanced weights. Openness holds right up until a government decides it has a lead worth protecting.

China is trying to pop the US AI bubble. Xi just announced China will provide 30 countries with 5,000 AI training and seminar opportunities while building international AI application cooperation centers. China and the US have a different definition of "winning" the AI race. The US strategy: Spend trillions building and controlling the AI infrastructure the world will depend on through a proprietary ecosystem. China is taking the opposite approach: Build cheaper open-source models with similar performance and encourage the world to build on top of them. The bet is simple: The winner of AI will not necessarily be whoever owns the infrastructure. .... It will be whoever builds the best companies on top of it. Just like in the post-dot-com era... The biggest winners were companies like Amazon, Google, and Microsoft that built businesses on top of open infrastructure.

What does it mean when an AI model is “open weights” and how is it different than “open source”? Welcome to the next episode of the Open Model Series with merve, Hugging Face AI/ML engineer & open-sourceress! Every week we will discuss open-source & open-weight AI: what it is, how it works, and how you can run them on your own compute. Episode 3 out next week; episode 1 linked below. Please leave all your questions about open-source & open-weight AI in the comments. This is a super important topic that is novel to most people, and it can be challenging to grasp - so your questions are shared with many others.

Today we're announcing Base Labs, a dedicated research organization focused on advancing open-source AI. We believe in a healthy, open frontier model ecosystem. To enable this, we are working on: - Blue-sky research on continual learning, the science of RL, and how models learn across their full lifecycle, with every experiment and recipe shared openly. - The BaseHub Data Foundry: the highest-quality open RL environments, training data, and real-world benchmarks, built for anyone to train and benchmark on. - Post-post training: taking open-source models and making them better, safer, and more aligned through continual post-training, built on our research, and deployed with our frontier safety stack so organizations can use open-source models with confidence. - Making models cheaper and more performant through our model performance research. This is a mission-driven research effort, not a commercial product. We believe the health of the open-source AI ecosystem matters and that the best way to advance it is to do science in the open. We’re hiring engineers, researchers, and research fellows to advance this mission.

“We have a crisis of open source models in the Western world. Outside of China, there are no good open source models. We don't even have any in the US now. The talent, the capital and the focus to be best-in-class at pre-training, mid-training, post-training is an extremely scarce skillset. The answer for a lot of countries may just be to take an open weights model from China, post-train or fine-tune their own version, and have that be what they start from." Everett Randle Why does the West have such poor open source models and is it a national security threat to rely on open-source Chinese models Demis Hassabis Yann LeCun Aidan Gomez Lilian Weng Jan Leike

Announcing the Open Model Series: a new series on open source AI models, with merve of Hugging Face. Hugging Face is the open model hub: it hosts model weights, datasets, evals, & demo apps, and maintains the open-source libraries (like transformers) used to run and train them. I think of it like GitHub, but for AI models. You can download open models and run them on your own machines. In this series we'll cover what open source and open weight models are, how they work, how to run them yourself, and why they're important. By the way - this video is edited entirely with Claude! I can make a tutorial on how I did it. If there's a question you want answered about open models, leave it in the comments. We will read them all. Episode 1 is out soon.

.Marc Andreessen 🇺🇸 says the winner of the US-China AI race could dictate what all 8 billion people on Earth use — but open source introduces a third possibility: "The stakes are basically: what is the world going to run on?" "In the long run, somebody's gonna win. And the world will either be running on American AI or be running on Chinese AI." "The open source thing is super fascinating because it throws a wrench into all of this. It raises a third possibility that neither the US nor China are going to be the platform — it may just be open source." Marc Andreessen with Jeetu Patel at Cisco AI Summit

Matt Bornstein says open source is how AI companies stop being wrappers: "A year ago, a bunch of smaller companies or new application companies were trying to figure out, 'How do I really build an AI without just being a wrapper on top of OpenAI?' The answer to that question turned out to be open source." "This is what Cursor did. This is what Decagon and Harvey are in the process of doing now. A bunch of really strong application-level startups made the determination: we can't build just on closed source." "We need to do our own mid-training, our own post-training, our own inference and deployment tricks. All of that means it must be built on top of open source. The closed-source vendors won't give you the access to do this." "Open source became really central in a way that's not always visible because it's deeply embedded in some of these products. Some of the most innovative products and applications now really depend on this very deeply." Matt Bornstein

Perplexity CEO on China catching up in AI: “Whatever you did to not let them catch up didn’t even matter. They ended up catching up anyway. What’s more dangerous is they have the best open-source model. And all the American developers are building on that.” That was DeepSeek. Now just dropped GLM-5.2: • MIT open weights • 1M context • 81.0 on Terminal-Bench 2.1 • within a few points of Claude Opus 4.8 The open-source AI race is not theory anymore.
