Y Combinator’s Garry Tan wants U.S. open-weight AI labs to ‘distill’ frontier models, too
Y Combinator leader Garry Tan is advocating for a shift in how leading artificial intelligence developers share their technology. He contends that since foundational models are built upon vast repositories of human-generated information, the resulting capabilities should be accessible as a public benefit. By encouraging labs to create smaller, distilled versions of frontier models, Tan hopes to democratize access to high-performance AI, moving away from closed-off ecosystems toward a more equitable distribution of innovative tools.
