Dario Amodei calls to pace the frontier; commentator: Chinese open source is winning
smtabatabaie · x · 2026-09-13
Dario Amodei published a new essay, "We Must Pace the Frontier," arguing the AI industry should slow down and laying out a three-part plan. Anthropic is unilaterally committing to the first step: granting third-party evaluators permanent, employee-level access to its systems to verify safety measures, report incidents, and assess alignment during training. A resharing commentator adds a competing reading: "Chinese open source is winning hard. IPO is endangered," framing the slowdown call against China's open-source momentum.
