Nvidia Alliance Backs Open Source AI After Hugging Face Breach

Nvidia launched the Open Secure AI Alliance, a new coalition to advance open-source and open-weight AI tools for cybersecurity.

The move follows the Hugging Face incident, which Nvidia says exposed the limits of closed-model defenses and the need for more controllable AI systems.

Major tech and security firms joined the alliance, but OpenAI and Anthropic were not among the initial members.

The announcement also lands amid growing U.S. scrutiny of Chinese AI model distillation and possible sanctions.
