In source context, he is explicitly discussing whether AI models should be open sourced and says open-source technologies are "the safest technologies today" and that he sees "no risk associated with open sourcing models." That is directly about the danger of open-source AI and makes a clear stance on the comparative statement substantially more likely.

He explicitly opposes the statement: he says he does not see "any risk associated with open sourcing models" and "only see[s] benefits." In the interview’s surrounding context, he also argues that open source is how software is collectively governed and that open-source technologies are the safest, reinforcing that he views open-source AI as less dangerous, not more.

Relevant: in the interview, this quote comes from a discussion of whether Mistral should ever avoid open-sourcing a model, and Mensch says open source is the safest way to govern software and that the model technology itself is not what should be regulated. That context makes a determinate stance on a requirement aimed at open-source model release documentation substantially more likely.

The quote says he sees “no risk” in open-sourcing models and “only benefits,” and the article presents him as wanting regulation focused on applications/use rather than on general-purpose models themselves. That makes him most likely opposed to a rule requiring open-source model releases to carry safety-benchmark release-note requirements.
