The federal government has a vested interest in promoting open-weight AI. Closed AI ecosystems can limit how the government can use them.

    Exactly! A government that depends entirely on proprietary AI is ultimately dependent on a handful of private companies. Open weight models offer more flexibility: agencies can self host, audit, modify and switch providers without being locked into a single vendor. That’s a strategic advantage, not just a technical preference.
