Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei Clarifies: Company Never Advocated Banning Open-Source AI Models
Anthropic faced criticism from peers for not signing an open letter supporting open-weight AI. CEO Dario Amodei responded today, clearly stating that the company has never advocated a ban on open-weight models. He believes open-weight models without dangerous capabilities are public assets, but advocates for strict crackdowns on industrial-scale distillation operations and requires both open-source and closed-source models to undergo mandatory safety testing. Amodei disagrees with the open letter's view that "open-weight models are easier to safeguard," arguing that offense and defense may be asymmetric and need verification through pre-release testing.
