> Since it'll encourage Open weighs models

Is this accurate? I don't know enough about hardware, but perhaps someone could clarify: how hard would it be to reverse engineer this to "leak" the model weights? Is it even possible?

There are some labs that sell access to their models (mistral, cohere, etc) without having their models open. I could see a world where more companies can do this if this turns out to be a viable way. Even to end customers, if reverse engineering is deemed impossible. You could have a device that does most of the inference locally and only "call home" when stumped (think alexa with local processing for intent detection and cloud processing for the rest, but better).
