Thinking Machines Lab published a post 'A Safe Path to Open Weights' outlining a middle ground between indiscriminate release and keeping models in a few labs. They advocate robust safety testing, research on decoupling dangerous capabilities, and staged releases to build ecosystem resilience. They argue open-weight models are public goods but require careful, irreversible release decisions.
