OpenAI's founding charter keeps an explicit long-term safety pledge on the books: if any value-aligned project looks likely to reach AGI first, the company promises to stop competing and instead lend a hand through tailored agreements, with a possible trigger being better-than-even odds of success within two years.
It's clear that OpenAI would rather see the world burn then join forces with Anthropic.
if they go ahead with a price war I'm going short on the entire US market and will move to china

The text offers no public process for deciding what counts as value-aligned or how success odds would be measured, leaving the pledge's real-world reach open.
An April 2026 update lists five operating principles without the rival-assistance language, though the original charter clause itself has not been altered or removed.
Many users dismiss OpenAI's restated charter commitments to AGI safety projects as insincere past virtue signaling, while some appreciate the OpenAI-Anthropic rivalry for spurring innovation instead.
the meme of China doing nothing and winning is actually so true

@torchcompiled I feel like "value aligned" basically rules out anthropic now. Because the messaging from sam and greg has been a lot of shots at their decisions.

@torchcompiled Well they won't have to worry about that for a LONG ass time.
@scaling01 Rembember AI 2027?
@scaling01 Especially since Anthropic is now in a business partnership with Musk.
All this high minded idealism and saving humanity and achieving the singularly and blah blah blah, but ultimately ...the girls are fighting.
@scaling01 Rally to what ? Mythos is misaligned because @AnthropicAI is working badly.
They are confusing stability from output and alignment. By this they are enforcing the output what ever the latent space is projecting.
Just call dad.
@scaling01 Price wars would be stupid with an imminent IPO
@scaling01 With the way Anthropic is acting lately, it’s good to have an alternative to them. They balance the worst parts of each other out
@scaling01 hasn't mythos / fable already been the first step of this price war? it's only 2x opus price, they must have compressed the margins for sure
@scaling01 I bet they are both operating at 90% margins and it's just the type of marketing these guys are doing
@scaling01 I mean, Meta is not actually doing anything… But I hope you’re not suggesting they’re going to win?
@scaling01 real
@scaling01
@scaling01 Or you could join Peter Thiel in Argentina?
@scaling01 @AnthropicAI No pressure
The chief architect The smartest guy The weird guy 30 minutes
if the problem is solved i want stock option and cash
No job
@scaling01 >winning How?
@scaling01 You don't like every business in the world getting rich in expense of open ai investors and it's employees?
@torchcompiled They only said this because they thought they’d be building AGI & wanted to high road other labs into joining them. They didn’t expect someone else would get there faster. It’s just virtue signaling, they will NEVER do this if it comes to pass.
