For my first post, I’m sharing a letter @NVIDIA signed on why open models matter.
AI will transform every industry, power every company, and be built by every country.
Open models strengthen safety and cybersecurity, accelerate innovation and diffusion, and enable sovereignty.
The world needs both frontier closed models and frontier open models.

We often talk about AI as a threat to democracy. But what if it could also be one of its best tools?
@bethnoveck's new book “Reboot” argues that we already have the tools to rebuild institutions that listen better, decide more wisely, and work for more people. We just haven't pointed them at the right problems yet.

Thank you, @BurnesCenter and @anitamcgahan, for a fantastic conversation about concrete and actionable ways to improve the rigor, quality, and impact of research. We also talked, of course, about #AI.
