Sam Altman backs Dario's pacing call: OpenAI will also grant independent evaluators employee-like access
austinc3301 · x · 2026-09-13
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman publicly responded to Dario Amodei's We Must Pace the Frontier essay: "I agree with Dario that we need to pace the frontier. This has been a primary topic of discussions we've had at OpenAI in recent weeks." He committed OpenAI to matching Anthropic's move — giving independent evaluators employee-like access — with "more to share soon." The two leading frontier labs now publicly align on voluntary pacing plus third-party evaluation, suggesting an industry self-regulation framework may be taking shape.
