Reporter Ashley Gold reports Britain plans to invest another £120 million ($160 million) in its government lab testing the world's most powerful AI models—the infusion alone exceeds the annual budget of its US counterpart by more than 10x. In contrast, US federal AI evaluation efforts receive far less cash and are spread across multiple agencies. Garrison Lovely quipped, "We're getting eval-mogged."
