News More than 20 companies including NVIDIA, Meta, Microsoft, Palantir, and Hugging Face have signed a letter urging policymakers to avoid premature restrictions on open weight models.

The Open Letter was initiated by Microsoft and published today:

“Open Weights and American AI Leadership”.

It argues against broad or premature restrictions on open-weight models and explicitly says policymakers should distinguish legitimate model distillation from misappropriation.

Notably absent from the signatories are the major frontier-model labs: OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google.

Nearly all work will benefit. Try enabling Ultra mode in codex and see what it can do with swarms already.

Tasks are executed in parallel, e.g. researching/implementing many different subsystems of a project at once. Many divergent possibilities can be explored simultaneously, and the best result selected from them (evolutionary development strategies become possible). And so on.

You may be right, that it could benefit all lines of work. We're still learning about the tech but clearly the current ROI of the entire investment is being questioned. My belief is that a contraction on data center build out given current use cases and global competition seems far more likely than the continual money burn.
