Exactly. It’s much easier to regulate an API than software people can download and run on their own hardware. ~~Once~~ Since capable open weight AI models exist, they spread much like Linux or other open source software: mirrors appear, forks emerge, and improvements compound. Governments can make access less convenient, but preventing global distribution altogether is a far harder problem than restricting a hosted service.
