Mira Murati shared a post from her new startup, Think Machine, detailing their approach to AI safety and open-weight model releases. The article argues against both indiscriminately releasing model weights and hoarding capable models inside a few labs.
The team believes there is a viable path between these extremes. They outlined their assessment of the Inkling model, emphasizing that safety depends on both the model and its surrounding ecosystem. They advocate for rigorous testing, staged access, and stronger defenses to responsibly widen access over time.
