A prominent AI laboratory, Anthropic, had previously drawn significant scrutiny for appearing to be the sole leading entity in the field not openly endorsing open-weight models. This sentiment shifted following Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's recent publication of a public letter championing these models, initially signed by industry giants such as Microsoft, Nvidia, Meta, Palantir, and Hugging Face, among others. In the subsequent days, the letter's list of signatories expanded considerably, now including major players like OpenAI, Google, Amazon, SpaceX, Cohere, Mistral, CoreWeave, GitHub, OpenClaw, and Perplexity. Responding to the evolving discourse, Anthropic's CEO has since released their own perspective on the matter, unequivocally clarifying, "Anthropic has never advocated for a ban on open-weights models."
