Dario Amodei's 'Pace the Frontier' essay draws open-source backlash
TinfoilTricorn · x · 2026-09-13
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei published a new essay, 'We Must Pace the Frontier,' arguing the AI industry should slow down with a three-part plan. Anthropic unilaterally commits to the first step: permanent employee-level access for third-party evaluators to verify safety measures and assess alignment. Open-source advocates reacted sharply, claiming the plan aims to 'suffocate open source.'
