While acknowledging the need to address illegal IP extraction, the signatories advocated for targeted legal frameworks rather than sweeping bans." datetime: "2026-07-24T21:26:47.000Z" locales: - [zh-CN](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/news/293799635.md) - [en](https://longbridge.com/en/news/293799635.md) - [zh-HK](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/news/293799635.md) --- # Tech coalition warns against sweeping artificial intelligence limits Nvidia, Microsoft, Meta and more than 20 other technology companies are urging U.S. policymakers not to broadly restrict open-weight artificial intelligence (AI) models, saying the technology is critical to maintaining America's leadership in the global AI race. In a joint letter released Friday, the companies argued that open AI models accelerate innovation, strengthen cybersecurity and help ensure the U.S. remains competitive as countries race to develop increasingly powerful AI systems. "Our AI leadership will be judged not by one frontier AI model, but by whether the United States builds a strong, open ecosystem that diffuses into every sector," the signatories wrote. The industry's public appeal comes as the Trump administration weighs its approach to open-AI models after senior officials raised concerns about Chinese AI developer Moonshot AI and its open-weight Kimi K3 model. **WHITE HOUSE MONITORING INCIDENT AFTER OPENAI MODELS ESCAPED CONTAINMENT AND HACKED HUGGING FACE SYSTEMS** On Wednesday, White House Office of Science and Technology Policy Director Michael Kratsios accused Moonshot of developing Kimi K3 by distilling Anthropic's Fable 5 model. Distillation, a technique that trains a smaller AI model using the outputs of a more advanced one, has become a flashpoint in the race to develop cutting-edge artificial intelligence. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent also suggested this week that the United States could sanction companies found to have improperly used distillation to appropriate intellectual property. While defending open AI development, the coalition acknowledged that companies found to have illegally extracted value from proprietary models should face consequences. "Unlawful efforts to extract value from closed models raise legitimate concerns," the letter states. "Those concerns should be addressed through targeted legal and commercial frameworks rather than sweeping restrictions on techniques that play an important role in AI innovation." **OPENAI CO-FOUNDER WARNS AI MODELS ARE BECOMING HARDER TO CONTROL AFTER ITS MODEL HACKED ANOTHER FIRM** Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang speaks during a press conference in Tokyo on July 16.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang amplified the effort Friday in his first-ever post on X. "For my first post, I'm sharing a letter @NVIDIA signed on why open models matter," Huang wrote. "AI will transform every industry, power every company, and be built by every country." "Open models strengthen safety and cybersecurity, accelerate innovation and diffusion, and enable sovereignty." The letter was signed by Nvidia, Microsoft, Meta, Dell Technologies, IBM, Palantir, Hugging Face, Mozilla, Mistral, Andreessen Horowitz, Y Combinator and other technology companies, startups and organizations. Notably absent were OpenAI and Anthropic, two of the leading developers of proprietary frontier AI models. Google and Elon Musk's xAI also did not sign the statement.
