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: granting third-party evaluators permanent, employee-level access to its systems to verify safety measures, report incidents, and assess alignment during training.

A related post highlights an ironic detail: when OpenAI attacked HuggingFace, it was Chinese open-weight models—not frontier American models—that helped stop and defend against the attack.
