Matthew Berman argues Anthropic is shaping the open-weights debate by warning about safety
MatthewBerman · x · 2026-07-28
Matthew Berman says he does not think Anthropic is evil or intentionally seeking regulatory capture, but argues that the company is still shaping the competitive landscape by loudly warning that open-source models may be unsafe.
He frames the issue as one of influence: Anthropic says it has not called for a ban on open-weights models, yet its public stance may still function like an indirect push for tighter restrictions.
