Sam Altman backs Dario's frontier pacing call, pledges independent evaluators — but logits access history resurfaces

Sam Altman says he agrees with Dario Amodei on pacing the frontier — a primary internal topic at OpenAI in recent weeks — and commits to giving independent evaluators employee-like access to models.
Developer Maziyar Panahi pushes back: Altman promised researcher access to actual logits back in 2023 but closed it out of fear of distillation. What makes this time different? The credibility and granularity of independent evaluations are now the sticking point.
