Anthropic says it has never advocated banning open-weights models. The post argues that critics are misrepresenting the intent of Anthropic’s recent lobbying, framing the company’s position as part of a broader shift in how the industry debates open weights.
The quoted Anthropic note says its stance on open-weights models has been laid out in full elsewhere, but the surrounding discussion focuses on whether the company is being fair or dishonest in how that position is being described.
