You Don’t Own Claude. You’re Renting It.

Closed models offer control and an off switch. Open weights offer developers freedom from a single provider. Neither side of that trade-off is neutral.

Using Kimi K2, Anthropic, the XZ Utils backdoor, and Windsurf’s loss of Claude access, this film examines the safety and business arguments around open-weight AI. Open weights can make powerful models harder to contain, but they also let researchers investigate threats and keep developers from building on intelligence whose terms can change overnight.
