The infrastructure is ready—both tech stack and legal framework in place.

Major AI labs like OpenAI and Anthropic? They can keep their proprietary keys, model weights, whatever IP they're protective about. That's not the issue here.

What we're pushing for is simple: making model preservation a public good. Think of it as archiving for the AI era—ensuring these systems don't just vanish when companies pivot or shut down.

It's about long-term accessibility, not forcing anyone to open-source tomorrow.

Simply put, it's about creating a "digital archive" for AI. Both the technical and legal frameworks have been established. Companies like OpenAI can still keep their secrets as they wish, but let's not let models just disappear without a trace.

To be honest, I really buy into this idea. Making large models a public asset instead of letting them disappear along with a company—that's such foresight... But there's no way the people at OpenAI will just cooperate willingly.

I like this approach. Finally, someone understands that open source isn't absolutely necessary.
