OpenAI's training pause compared to Anthropic's undisclosed past pause
JacquesThibs · x · 2026-10-02
A discussion on AI labs pausing training: the author notes Anthropic did pause training before, though never publicly disclosed it at the time. They argue OpenAI's current pause appears broader and the situation may be worse—possibly weaker safety practices catching up in a more serious way. Ideally, each lab would pause indefinitely until alignment science can be reliably turned into engineering practice, rather than timing pauses against competitors.
