If Columbia or another university confronts the administration on its own, it will lose. If America’s nearly 6,000 universities and colleges launch a campaign in defense of higher education, odds are that Trump will lose.
Someone must lead this collective effort. And if Harvard and other leading universities remain in their protective shells, there is a good chance that no one will.

This is pure guesswork. What makes you think it will not be fully open source for now?
And who has said here that OpenAI/ChatGPT is open source? This hype around open source has only been around with Deepseek recently (although it is really not open as we know).
Is this going to be another misnomer for a model that isn’t actually open? The quote doesn’t give me much hope.
The quote says it will be fully open. What makes you think it will not?
