Open-source models like Goku expose limits of U.S. AI regulation strategies.
Goku is an open-source AI model like Llama and DeepSeek. This is good news for many businesses and startups around the world but bad news for OpenAI, as it is becoming clear that having the best model alone does not ensure long-term success. It reinforces that model regulation will not work as the U.S. might have envisioned. Open-source software cannot be easily restricted by trade barriers, making it difficult for governments to control access to AI technology.
