AI Futures Project proposes US frontier pacing: compute allocation rules and R&D model limits
eli_lifland · x · 2026-09-13
Eli Lifland and the AI Futures Project publish tentative domestic proposals to pace the US frontier, following a 1,000+ signatory open letter: mandatory compute allocation requirements and capping the capabilities of models used for AI R&D. They argue domestic pacing also slows China via distillation/theft, and hope to refine the proposals within months.
