Anthropic criticizes its rivals’ open-weight stance by warning policymakers and CEOs who signed the recent letter to prepare for a future serious safety incident.
The post argues that if such an incident does happen, Anthropic’s caution will look more prescient in hindsight. It frames the company’s position as a principled bet: it may be wrong today, but history often rewards the side that was early and explicit about the risk.
