Nvidia Will Spend $26B to Build Open-Weight AI Models

Complement strategy disguised as frontier ambition: $26B in open-weight models optimized for Nvidia silicon, given away free to ensure the ecosystem stays on their hardware. The defensive trigger is visible; Chinese open models (DeepSeek, Qwen) are becoming the global default, and Meta's retreat from fully open Llama creates the US vacuum Nvidia is filling.
