Nvidia, Microsoft, Meta urge restraint on hasty regulation of open-weight models

More than 20 U.S. tech companies including Nvidia, Microsoft, Meta and Palantir urged policymakers to refrain from rushing regulation of open-weight artificial intelligence models. In a joint letter, they said early restrictions could curb competition and drive innovation overseas. Open-weight models can be downloaded, modified and run on users’ own infrastructure. The companies said open-weight models broaden competition and limit concentration of benefits, and argued closed models are not inherently safer.
