Nvidia's Jensen Huang joins X, defends Chinese AI: "Excellent open-source models should be used"

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said strong Chinese open-weight AI models should remain usable by U.S. companies, and later backed keeping model weights accessible on X.

His remarks came after Moonshot AI’s Kimi K3 rattled markets and as Nvidia joined other tech firms in urging policymakers not to impose early restrictions on advanced models.

The debate underscores a bigger policy fight over open versus restricted AI weights, with stakes for competition, national security, and the AI chip and data-center boom.
