>The most salient thing in the document is that it put export controls on releasing the weights of models trained with 10^26 operations.
Does this affect open source? If so, it'll be absolutely disastrous for the US in the longer term, as eventually China will be able to train open weights models with more than that many operations, and everyone using open weights models will switch to Chinese models because they're not artificially gimped like the US-aligned ones. China already has the best open weights models currently available, and regulation like this will just further their advantage.
"consistent with its general practice, BIS will not require a license for the export of the model weights of open-weight models"
