By opening up its models in this way, NVIDIA is not just making a gesture for the community, it is reshuffling the cards for the AI industry. Until now, the most powerful models were the prerogative of a few richly endowed tech giants. By providing access to technology that rivals the proprietary systems of industry champions, the company allows smaller players to play in the big leagues. And if Meta also prides itself on offering open source models, the reality is quite different when we take a look at their licenses…
This decision could trigger a chain reaction, pushing other leaders to open up their research, at the risk of accelerating the progress of AI in an uncontrolled way. Because if powerful AI becomes more accessible, the risks of misuse and ethical questions will multiply. The AI community will need to promote innovation while establishing safeguards for responsible use.
NVIDIA’s initiative also raises questions about the future of artificial intelligence business models. If cutting-edge models become free, companies will have to rethink how they create value and maintain a competitive advantage. Ironically, NVIDIA could overshadow its own customers like Mistral AI, with whom it recently co-developed the Mistral NeMo 12B model.
