> So, any solution to this “problem” must include ALL open-weight models.

I think that is what the "leading AI labs" actually want. They don't care where the open weight models come from, they just don't want to compete with them. The fact that a lot of the open weight models come from china is just a convenient circumstance they can leverage to get the government to give them what they really want.

It would be lovely to see NVIDIA accidentally delay some allocations to frontier AI labs calling for banning open weight models.

Oops, sorry, production issue, chip shortage… now about that open model ban you’re lobbying for…

It would be so simple if businesses could choose their competition or simplify disallow modes of competition they found inconvenient. I can't imagine any amount of regulation would make that possible in today's competitive landscape with the existing laws and the enormous volume of prior art.
