[Jensen Huang Supports China's Open-Source AI, Claims Bans Will Make the U.S. More Vulnerable] According to monitoring by Beating, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang publicly opposed the U.S. ban on China's open-source AI. He stated that Chinese models like Kimi perform excellently and that U.S. companies 'should absolutely use them.' Restricting these models could instead weaken U.S. security. Huang believes that companies can place downloaded models into secure sandboxes, controlling their own data and access permissions. Open weights also allow external researchers to inspect for vulnerabilities. Compared to everyone relying on a single model, this approach reduces the risk of single points of failure. He also does not believe that Kimi will outcompete OpenAI and Anthropic. Low-cost or even free models will expand the AI market, driving demand for more chips, data centers, and computing power. He bluntly stated that free AI is beneficial for hardware. [Original Link]
