Dario Amodei calls to pace the frontier; Anthropic grants third-party evaluators permanent employee-level access
markjeffrey · x · 2026-09-13
Anthropic CEO 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: giving third-party evaluators permanent, employee-level access to its systems so they can verify safety measures, report incidents, and assess alignment during training.
Reactions are split — MaxSebti reads it as saying "we don't need to slow down but we need open source evals and open weights." The essay anchors a broader industry debate, alongside same-day comments from Sam Altman and Elon Musk.
