Hugging Face Launches Open Alignment Initiative, Applies to Anthropic's Evaluator Program
TheMoonMidas · x · 2026-09-12
Hugging Face CEO Clement Delangue announced the Open Alignment Initiative, led by Thom Wolf, arguing alignment won't be solved behind the closed doors of a few frontier labs. The initiative is applying to the "embedded evaluators" program Dario Amodei just committed to, in which Anthropic grants third-party evaluators permanent, employee-level access to verify safety measures and assess model alignment. Hugging Frame frames the effort as making AI safer through transparency.
