> Restricting the transfer to non-trusted actors of the model weights for advanced closed-weight models. The rule does not in any way inhibit the publication of model weights for open-weight models.
So the rule pre-supposes that close-weight models will just always be better than their open-weight counterparts. How do they know this will hold up?

It doesn't necessarily presuppose that. Trying to limit the export of open weight models would likely fail on first amendment grounds, the same way the supreme court struck down attempts to limit the export of "military grade" cryptography.
I didn’t read it that way. I read it as trying to control what can be controlled; risk mitigation rather than risk elimination.
