The industry is calling for open AI infrastructure. Open weights and models are essential, but still only one layer of the stack. Truly sovereign AI infrastructure needs to verify the whole flow, from prompt to model to hardware, and ensure it's encrypted end-to-end. And open rails. Agents need an open settlement layer to transact across assets and markets freely, but confidentially, so they're not broadcasting their movements and sensitive user data. "Sovereign AI" is a multi-dimensional challenge across the whole stack that involves inference, settlement, privacy, and verifiability. NEAR is building that stack holistically through the combination of the protocol, NEAR Intents, and NEAR AI, and is designed to support any closed or open model, and any payment ramp. The age of AI can be one of prosperity indeed if the infrastructure, the full infrastructure, is open.

For my first post, I’m sharing a letter @NVIDIA signed on why open models matter. AI will transform every industry, power every company, and be built by every country. Open models strengthen safety and cybersecurity, accelerate innovation and diffusion, and enable sovereignty. The world needs both frontier closed models and frontier open models.
