Why would AI firms share their code?

Mistral's 'open weights' approach means their AI model's inner workings are public. This allows independent experts to scrutinise the code for biases, security flaws, or hidden capabilities. It also encourages innovation, as others can build upon and improve the model, potentially making AI safer and more transparent for everyone.
