Open Source AI Week's debate night puts speakers on stage at GitHub's headquarters in San Francisco for three live arguments about open-weight models. The first weighs whether the risks of releasing frontier model weights outweigh the benefits; the second asks whether developers that release open weights offer weaker long-term investment returns than those keeping models closed; the third takes up whether closed models keep an overall performance advantage through 2030. Microsoft, GitHub and the Open Intelligence Foundation host, with registration, networking and closing remarks around the debates.
