Enterprises need full control over model pipeline to avoid vendor lock-in and margin pressure; open weights enable transparent safety research beyond the few hundred researchers at frontier…

Researchers prefer small open-weight labs where they own the entire training pipeline and see their work published, unlike at large frontier labs where work is siloed and only visible via A…

RCAI chose B300s for speed but faced lack of optimized kernels and at-scale benchmarks; relied on DeepSeek's Hopper-era sparse kernels as performance reference, highlighting software maturi…
