Jeremy, this is a great read, thank you! What do you think about the amended version from today that gives the FMD significantly greater authority on what would and would not be covered by the legislation? Any other specific recommendations for the legislation that would help protect open-source? Edit to ask: Does it seem likely to you that one of the unintended consequences of the legislation as written is that companies like Meta will no longer open-source their models?

It'll take me a while to digest today's changes, so I don't have an educated opinion about them as yet. Yes, companies like Meta will no longer be able to open-source their models, once their compute reaches the threshold, if the bill goes through and if the "covered model" definition is interpreted to include base models (or is modified to make that clear).
