Anthropic's tightened limits frustrate independent researchers running open-science loops
omarsar0 · x · 2026-11-10
Elvis Omarsar (@omarsar0) says Anthropic's new restrictions 'suck' for independent researchers, arguing open models are better suited for such work since owning weights and transparency matter. He credits Anthropic for being transparent and notes interpretability domains weren't nerfed. Cited researcher @eliebakouch shares the disappointment but appreciates the honesty. Omarsar adds from personal experience that autoresearch loops to improve models hit constant refusals — even paper reproduction often fails.
