A screenshot of an Anthropic statement clarifies that the company has not advocated banning open-weights models.
- Anthropic says open-weights models can pose higher risk because once weights are released, guardrails and usage monitoring become much harder.
- Its position is that all sufficiently capable models, open or closed, should undergo mandatory safety testing before release, including cyber, biological, and alignment risk checks.
