“The United States’ advantage is decentralized and open innovation. Some people argue that we must close our models to prevent China from gaining access to them, but my view is that this will not work and will only disadvantage the US and its allies. Our adversaries are great at espionage, stealing models that fit on a thumb drive is relatively easy, and most tech companies are far from operating in a way that would make this more difficult. It seems most likely that a world of only closed models results in a small number of big companies plus our geopolitical adversaries having access to leading models, while startups, universities, and small businesses miss out on opportunities.”

I think closing our models to prevent China from gaining access won't work. The US advantage is decentralized innovation, and restricting access will only hurt us in the long run. Our adversaries are skilled at espionage, so we need to focus on staying ahead with our open innovation approach.
