Researchers urge Anthropic to back open-weight AI models
Independent researcher 1a3orn posted on X calling on Anthropic to stop opposing open-weight AI models. The models advanced existential risk research, limited power concentration in AI development, and gave wider access to technical papers from Chinese laboratories. Tom Davidson reposted the comments. Researchers noted that open-weight models still outperform alternatives for reducing centralized control over AI progress.
#13801a3orn@1A3ORNI wish Anthropic would stop opposing open weight models.
Open weight models have been great for x-risk research; for decreasing concentration of power; and Chinese papers have been fantastic for keeping the non-lab general public more informed of how AI works.
#13801a3orn@1A3ORNWait, you say, "Don't open weight models suck at decreasing concentration of power?"
Well, yes, but they suck much less than everything else out there so I'm still pretty in favor of them.
