GavinSBaker argues that Anthropic and OpenAI would "pace" the frontier by spending more time and compute on alignment, monitoring, and evals—accepting slightly higher costs and lower margins. A replier adds that safety spend could actually improve per-model margins, since models cost enormously to create and become more profitable the longer they serve.
