A coalition of 25 technology companies, including Nvidia, Microsoft, Meta and Palantir, urged policymakers to avoid "premature restrictions" on open-weight AI models, arguing that such measures could weaken U.S. competitiveness and push innovation overseas. The group said open-weight models promote competition, transparency and broader access to AI technology, while reducing the risks associated with concentrating advanced AI capabilities in a handful of proprietary systems.
The letter comes amid growing concerns about the rapid progress of Chinese AI developers, particularly after Moonshot AI's Kimi K3 model demonstrated strong benchmark performance. While U.S. officials are examining whether Chinese firms have improperly used American technology, the companies argued that concerns such as AI distillation should be addressed through targeted legal actions rather than broad restrictions.
