Florian Brand, who works as a Research Engineer at Prime Intellect on LLM evaluations and benchmarking and serves as an editor at Interconnects, posted a call for an international moratorium until we figured out what’s going on. The statement appears in the conversation around the post linked in the evidence. No further details on the scope or timeline of the proposed moratorium are supplied in the packet. The claim reflects what Brand said rather than independent confirmation of effects or responses.
