**[OpenAI Hopes to Exploit Regulatory Uncertainty to Suppress Kimi K3, David Sacks Publicly Refutes and Supports Model Open Source]**
According to monitoring by *动察 Beating*, the Chairman of the U.S. President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology, David Sacks, has just publicly criticized OpenAI’s Head of Strategy, Dean W. Ball. Ball published an article stating that the performance of the Kimi K3 model, developed in the "dark side of the moon," is already approaching the top-tier open models expected in Q1 2026. He suggested that the U.S. government deliberately create regulatory uncertainty to deter regulated companies from using it.
Sacks directly refuted this proposal: "Weaponizing regulatory uncertainty as a competitive tool is completely unacceptable. Regulatory decisions must be based on facts, logic, and evidence, not on deliberately creating fear and uncertainty." Sacks further warned that such covert tactics to achieve goals by sowing doubt would erode the rule of law in the United States and set a precedent for future abuse of power against anyone.
Currently, leading closed-source large model labs have established a revenue duopoly and are attempting to leverage government power to eliminate open-source competition. Sacks called on the majority in Silicon Valley who support open competition to stand up and voice their opinions.
Sacks has previously defended open-source models multiple times, arguing that the true safety baseline for enterprises lies in retaining model-level choice rather than relying on a single closed-source supplier.
