US AI Leaders Turn to Chinese Open Weight Models, Challenging Closed Source Safety Claims US artificial intelligence leaders have made significant statements in recent times, particularly Andrew Ng, who has announced the abandonment of closed source models for open weight systems developed in China.
This shift challenges long standing claims by American AI model developers that their closed source models are safer than Chinese open source ones.
Ng and his colleague opted to use Moonshot AI's Kimi K3 and Zhipu AI's GLM 5. 2 to conduct a security review of their OpenWorker tool, released last month.
