Oxide and Friends: The Open Weight Revolution with Simon Willison

开源权重模型迎来“高光时刻”！在最新一期播客中，AI领域知名开发者Simon Willison与嘉宾畅谈了让整个行业沸腾的一周：国产模型Kimi K3用实力证明，开源模型完全有能力与闭源顶尖模型正面抗衡；而一封呼吁支持开源权重的公开信，更是几乎集齐了AI圈所有大佬的签名，唯独Anthropic缺席，耐人寻味。通俗来说，“开源权重”就像把AI大脑的“设计图纸”公开了，谁都能下载、修改、部署，不用再看少数几家大公司的脸色。这波浪潮里，DeepSeek V4 Flash和Anthropic自己闹出的安全乌龙，生动说明了眼下AI赛道既火热又混乱。对普通人而言，最直接的利好就是AI工具会越来越便宜，甚至免费；隐私也更安全，因为模型可以在你自己的电脑上离线运行。开源生态的繁荣还会吸引更多小团队做出新奇应用，倒逼巨头们降价提质。节目最后还立了个有趣的flag：预测今年年底前，连教皇都会公开谈论开源模型——可见这话题已火出科技圈了！

<a href="https://oxide-and-friends.transistor.fm/episodes/the-open-weight-revolution-with-simon-willison">Oxide and Friends: The Open Weight Revolution with Simon Willison</a> On Monday Bryan Cantrill and Adam Leventhal invited me to join their podcast to talk about the wild week we've had - with Kimi K3 showing open weight models can stand toe-to-toe with proprietary frontier ones, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/2026/Jul/22/openai-cyberattack/">accidental cybersecurity attacks</a>, and public letters about <a href="https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/corporate-responsibility/topics/open-weight/">Open Weights and American AI Leadership</a> signed by almost every big name in AI (with one <a href="https://www.anthropic.com/news/position-open-weights-models">notable exception</a>). It was a great conversation, even though it's already out-of-date! <a href="https://artificialanalysis.ai/models/deepseek-v4-flash">DeepSeek V4 Flash 0731</a> and <a href="https://simonwillison.net/2026/Jul/30/three-real-world-incidents/">Anthropic's own embarrassing cyber incident</a> would absolutely have made the cut if we had recorded just a few days later. We also talk about <a href="https://www.anthropic.com/news/golden-gate-claude">Golden Gate Claude</a>, the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zizians">Zizians</a>, <a href="https://abc7news.com/post/83-year-old-alameda-woman-attacked-wild-turkeys-city-warns-residents-take-precautions-during-mating-season/19190785/">Alameda wild turkey attacks</a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_biological_weapons_program">Soviet Marburg virus research</a>, the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lead–crime_hypothesis">Lead-crime hypothesis</a>, and a bunch of other worthy digressions. Finally, we revisited some of <a href="https://simonwillison.net/2026/Jan/8/llm-predictions-for-2026/">our predictions from January</a>, and we <a href="https://simonwillison.net/2026/May/25/encyclical-on-ai/#another-2026-prediction-down">added a new Pope prediction</a>: <blockquote> Prediction by the end of this year: the Pope says something about open models. </blockquote> Tags: <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/predictions">predictions</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/ai">ai</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/generative-ai">generative-ai</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/local-llms">local-llms</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/llms">llms</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/oxide">oxide</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/bryan-cantrill">bryan-cantrill</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/podcast-appearances">podcast-appearances</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/ai-in-china">ai-in-china</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/ai-security-research">ai-security-research</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/openai-hugging-face-incident">openai-hugging-face-incident</a>
