This move comes after criticism from former investor Elon Musk, who wants OpenAI to return to its open-source roots. The decision is partly driven by pressure from large companies and governments concerned about data security, which can be addressed by letting developers download and modify the technology for their own purposes.

Arm's chips are used in advanced AI systems by companies like Nvidia, which utilize two Blackwell chips, and have become increasingly popular among cloud computing companies such as Amazon.com, Alphabet's Google, and Microsoft. According to Mohamed Awad, Arm's infrastructure chief, the company generates revenue through licensing fees and royalty payments for each chip sold, with data center chips often using more of its intellectual property.
