Might change after getting lobbying checks from Google, Microsoft and Apple.

Why? All three of those companies have an obvious and outspoken commitment to releasing models for free, they aren't trying to manipulate fear to sell a product like OpenAI.

Microsoft is invested in OpenAI. Have they released any open weight models themselves?

Apple is similarly partnering with OpenAI.

Google has released nerfed versions of its Gemini models (Gemma 2B and Gemma 7B).

It seems the only company truly setting an example for open weights is Meta. Hopefully the other companies realize that it’s in their best interest to do the same (as it seems Google is begrudgingly realizing with its nerfed releases).

Eventually open weights will win, and if OpenAI (the most ironically named company) continues to rely on closed models as its moat, it will lose.
