Jensen Huang: Opposes banning Chinese open-source AI models! According to Axios, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang stated in an interview that U.S. companies should "absolutely" be allowed to use Chinese open-source AI models, calling these models "excellent" and arguing that open usage would actually benefit the AI ecosystem. He pointed out that open-source models like Kimi and DeepSeek, which are close to cutting-edge in performance and more cost-effective, can lower barriers and expand AI application scales, thereby increasing demand for foundational infrastructure like chips and data centers. He opposes a blanket restriction on open-source models under the guise of national security, arguing that a multi-model coexistence is safer than a "single model" approach. He also urged companies, including Anthropic, to strengthen models through testing and rapid fixes rather than imposing strict access restrictions from the start.
