Security founder: open models will anchor AI defense, and OpenAI/Anthropic will fail to monopolize it
ziv_ravid · x · 2026-10-22
Security entrepreneur zivravid wraps up a thread arguing that AI risk is manageable despite inevitable shocks, and urges founders to build AI defense startups.
His core thesis is plurality: open models will be a central pillar of defense, scanning everything, alongside paid frontier models and dedicated security models built on top of them. He predicts OpenAI and Anthropic will try to own defense themselves — and fail.
It's a route judgment, not a report: he bets on the open-source ecosystem as the backbone of AI safety rather than a few frontier labs.
