The AI industry split wide open this week over the open-weights debate. NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang made his first-ever X post to launch the Open Secure AI Alliance — citing the Hugging Face hack as proof that closed models hinder security forensics while open-weight models helped contain the intrusion. Anthropic responded by publishing its official position claiming it "never advocated for a ban," but critics including Andrew Ng called the closed-model safety argument "regulatory capture." Meanwhile, Moonshot released Kimi K3 open weights at 2.6T parameters, narrowing the gap between open and proprietary models to just 4 points on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index. NVIDIA also committed $500B+ with SK Group for AI factory infrastructure and announced a strategic partnership with Ilya Sutskever's Safe Superintelligence — a massive bet on the open AI ecosystem. OpenClaw joined the Alliance alongside Hugging Face and Nous Research, marking its emergence as a security-relevant platform.
Jensen Huang's first X post calls for open-weight AI defense ecosystem. OpenClaw, Nous Research, Hugging Face join. Huang: "During the Hugging Face incident, closed AI blocked essential forensics. An open-weight frontier model helped contain the intrusion." The alliance sharpens the divide between closed-model labs (Anthropic) and companies that benefit from cheaper, customizable AI.
Moonshot AI released weights for its 2.6T parameter Kimi K3 model under a commercial-use-restricted license. Kimi K3 is now the leading open-weight model at 57 on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index, with the gap to top proprietary models at just 4 points — the smallest since GLM-5's release in February. SGLang already reports 423 tok/s on the model.
SK Telecom will build a 2GW NVIDIA Vera Rubin DSX AI Factory in Korea to serve global AI demand. Separately, NVIDIA announced a strategic partnership with Ilya Sutskever's Safe Superintelligence Inc. NVIDIA is also reportedly considering a $250B financing guarantee for OpenAI's Ohio data center, marking a major expansion from chip supplier to infrastructure financier.
Dario Amodei wrote that Anthropic "has never advocated for a ban" on open-weight models and that protecting US AI companies from competition "has never been my goal." The statement follows NVIDIA's open-weight advocacy and the formation of the Open Secure AI Alliance. Critics immediately pushed back, noting Anthropic's prior support for export controls, government oversight, and tight regulation of frontier models.
The latest OpenClaw release brings a major Control UI and onboarding revamp, updates to official iOS/Android/macOS apps, expanded model support including GPT-5.6 compatibility, Tencent Hy3, and Meta Muse Spark 1.1, plus stronger security features. The update comes as OpenClaw joins the Open Secure AI Alliance, reinforcing its position in the agent security conversation.

View post on X ↗"Good move by @JensenHuang. The Nvidia letter is well written and worth reading. As we saw with the OpenAI-Hugging Face hack, we need open models and harnesses for defense. Lets stop believing the PR that closed models are safer. - that's just regulatory capture." likes · 228K views
