Image of Wapuu signing the Open Weights and American AI Leadership letter

One of the things I value most about WordPress is that openness is built into everything we stand for.

That’s why I’m proud WordPress has signed the Open Weights and American AI Leadership letter. I believe the future of AI should be shaped by more people, not fewer, and open weights give people the freedom to understand, adapt, and build with these models.

The next generation of innovation won’t come from models alone. It will come from millions of people building with them.
