The move was widely interpreted as an attempt to curry Trump\u2019s favor.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/crosscountrymovingteams.com\/?p=4125\">Why did a Maine town fine a family that put up a giant metal rooster to support their daughter with autism?<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Brockman said he had not been in any conversations with the administration about banning Chinese AI models in the U.S. <\/p>\n<p>He suggested that a ban might distract from more pressing policy concerns, particularly around AI safety. \u201cFor any model, it\u2019s not really about who creates it,\u201d he said. The more important questions, he said, include: \u201cHow do you evaluate a model? How do you think about its safety? How do you think about its use cases? How do you understand its alignment?\u201d<\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The Trump administration is weighing a ban on cutting-edge Chinese AI models after Beijing-based Moonshot AI released its powerful Kimi K3 model, Axios reported this week. That model came close to equally the performance of the best models from American AI companies Anthropic and OpenAI, but was potentially much cheaper to use.<\/p>\n<p> The White House has accused Moonshot of stealing the intellectual property of U.S. AI labs to build Kimi K3 through a process known as \u201cdistillation,\u201d in which the outputs of one AI model are used as training inputs for another model. The terms and conditions of most AI vendors prohibit distillation but legal experts say the tactic is a legal gray area rather than a clear case of IP theft. In particular, Michael Kratsios, the director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, said Moonshot had used outputs from Anthropic\u2019s Fable 5 to train Kimi K3.<\/p>\n<p>The strengths of Chinese AI models were also highlighted by the OpenAI rogue AI incident. In that case, Hugging Face, the company that came under attack, said it was forced to use a Chinese open source model, Z.ai\u2019s GLM-5.2, to defend itself from the attack. Hugging Face said it had to do this because it first tried an unnamed American AI model but found its strict guardrails around cyber capabilities rendered it useless for conducting a defense of the on-going attack. <\/p>\n<p>When asked about whether he thought it was concerning Hugging Face had to use a Chinese-built model, Brockman did not directly answer the question. He reiterated the importance of having access to as many AI tools as possible. \u201cWe really think that putting these tools in defenders\u2019 hands is very important, and that\u2019s something that we\u2019ve actually really pushed towards,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang seems to agree with Brockman. This week he called the latest Chinese AI models \u201cexcellent\u201d and saying they \u201cshould be used.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/crosscountrymovingteams.com\/?p=4123\">Elena Kagan denies that Supreme Court is Trump\u2019s \u2018puppet,\u2019 claiming they\u2019ve checked him \u2018on some big issues\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The U.S. government\u2019s concern about widespread access to increasingly powerful, and potentially dangerous, AI has complicated the business of frontier labs like Anthropic and OpenAI. The Trump administration effectively forced Anthropic\u2019s Fable model off the market for most of the month of June over security concerns. Brockman said OpenAI had to work \u201cvery closely\u201d with the administration on the rollout of its GPT-5.6 model before its release shortly on July 9.<\/p>\n<p>When asked whether open source models are a threat to OpenAI\u2019s business since they can offer similar performance at a lower cost, Brockman disputed the commonly-held belief that open source models were necessarily less expensive because, while the models are often free to download, companies wanting to use them generally have to purchase their own cloud computing capacity to do so. <\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cOne narrative I would love to correct on cost [is that] it\u2019s not the case that open source models are magically cheap,\u201d he said. \u201cEverything\u2019s running on the same hardware.\u201d He said OpenAI works to make its models as cheap as possible for the task at hand. Surprisingly, he seemed relieved businesses are beginning to scrutinize the cost of AI and demand more clear ROI.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cNow that people actually care about price, which was not the case three months ago, we are delighted because we have always been the most efficient, most price performance models,\u201d he said. \u201cNow people actually care about that, and so we\u2019re like, \u2018Yes, the world is rational again.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/crosscountrymovingteams.com\/?p=4121\">EU says TikTok failed to shield minors\u2019 accounts from adults, exposing kids to predators<\/a><\/p>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OpenAI&#8217;s Greg Brockman also calls for &#8216;democratizing&#8217; access to powerful AI, but stops short of saying he opposes a ban on Chinese AI.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4118,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4126","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-openai"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
