They benefit by avoiding the massive legal and compliance burdens that companies like OpenAI or Google face. Smaller or open-source AI developers often operate under less scrutiny and may not be subject to the same regulations, public expectations, or partnership obligations. That makes it easier — and faster — for them to release models or features without needing the same level of legal review, safety alignment, or moderation infrastructure.
The biggest way is that they are saying all the right things that governments and regulators want to hear. None of them know how to regulate a technology that evolves as rapidly as this and is why the EU is moving to pause their regulations because not only did they strangle AI companies but they were outdated by the time they were passed.
NIST, the National Institute of Standards and Technology, works with government, academia and industry input. NIST leads the world in setting standards so this is huge.
How do they benefit from this? Is it easier for them to comply than for OpenAI/Google?
