“yepppp, see also huggingface.co/blog/securit... where the blue team's frontier models wouldn't help them so they had to use GLM to do blue team work.”
“6 months to live for open models Staring down the barrel of policy action that could make open models a permanent second class citizen. We need to a) win on the distillation issue and b) form a coalition www.interconnects.ai/p/6-months-t...”
“It is wild to me that one could ban open models. Stopping open models stops progress, locking everything up in the hands of the few. The frequency this debate comes up is way too high. We need open models - they keep the closed ones accountable. www.interco…”
“Solid US-origin open model, congratulations Thinking Machines * context window of 1M * available on hugging face now * between opus 4.6 and gpt 5.6 on a web dev benchmark * token efficient * 41B active params of 975B total www.wired.com/story/thinki...”

“Open models secure software Cisco releases two open models for security - 350M and 1B - for security-related work. Trained on IBM's Granite series, they can: find weak files; triage; augment static analysis; review in CI/CD; do analysis in strict environmen…”
“"The Alignment Community is Unintentionally Building a Censor’s Toolkit" Choosing what information is and is not surfaced is the a censor's dream. Alignment gives humans that capability - meaning no accountability, and no transparency, with closed models. s…”
“Surgical Repair of Insecure Code Generation in LLMs Generating more secure code by identifying failure categories and addressing them. I appreciate work that gets into the data and addresses classes individually; that's how you understand, and build lasting…”
“I don't know how many ways to say this but - stop looking at model performance - it's almost all in the harness - decent harness can easily outclass top model evidence item #71625: developer.nvidia.com/blog/create-...”
“Together we stand, divided we fall. Hiding from open models doesn't make sense, My career has benefited from collaborating with authors on every continent except Antartica (are you there? hit me up). When one country closes, it's usually that country that s…”
“We're nowhere without open models. There's no reason that the best models can't be open models - in many contexts, they are. The Allen Institute for AI research got a chunk of public funding to bring US open models up to speed; it's an important player. all…”
“A few readings: * Optimising efficiency reduces costs (fiscal, environmental) * Optimising efficiency raises consumption (jevon's paradox) * Money saved on power can be billed for hardware All are valid. But doing the same for less just seems really attractive”
“Interesting take. American models are also free: open models come from all over the world, including the US - Google Gemma, Meta Llama, NVIDA Nemotron, even OpenAI Idk if I love the Ferrari vs. Honda comparison but it's useful: maybe a non-leading model is …”
“K3 prompting important talks! Parallel discovery and development is the day-to-day of science. Even if one stops sharing, progress happens. I don't always agree with Sacks but he's right here - "The rest of the world won’t play by our rules if we bog oursel…”
“Defensive agentic security for everyone. It's the harness, not the model. Here's Capital One's code for finding vulnerabilities in your code. Add the model that you want. Hoping to see a lot more work like this in coming months so software can become secure…”
“Leading closed models do great at cybersecurity - all at similar perf, with the right harness (where the work happens and where humans embed the expertise). But you can also get SotA vulnerability discovery performance on-prem with open models. Don't take m…”
“Would not be surprised to see multiple bans on open models across the world - or a conflation between open source, open source models, and open weight models. Wild https://www.forbes.com/sites/the-prompt/2026/07/07/the-chinese-ai-blockade-is-coming/”
“The whole digital economy runs on open source. Banning open models is bad for almost everything if it lands - business and research and consumers. And they present no risk. What's going on? https://thehill.com/policy/technology/5952253-trump-administration-…”
“"Open source is not a Chinese approach to software any more than closed source is a democratic one. That instinct is completely backwards" The more who understand what open source is, the better. https://www.rstreet.org/commentary/model-panic-how-fear-of-op…”
