Posts on X congratulated Nathan Lambert and Trillium Labs after a launch, with several users describing the effort in notably positive terms. In the supplied reactions, users called it “super exciting” and said “the world needs more solid AI non profits”.
Several of those reactions specifically emphasized openness. One user called it “finally actual open science in a launch”. Another said they were looking forward to progress on the “open post-training front”. A separate post said non-profits with “a commitment to open science”, the resources to train models and a focus on safety are rare, while placing Trillium Labs in that conversation.
Lambert later said the response was not entirely supportive. In a post, he wrote that it was “a huge failure of the AI ecosystem” that some people responded with comments such as “you’re evil” and “shame on you.” When another user asked who was making those criticisms, Lambert replied that “a lot of them were on Substack / more general audience ai followers not ai technical community”.
Taken together, the supplied posts show a reaction pattern more than a full profile of the organization itself: congratulations from X users, repeated praise for what commenters described as an open or science-oriented effort, and Lambert’s own account of where some criticism was coming from.
The available evidence supports that response on X, including Lambert’s characterization of the backlash, but does not independently establish broader details about Trillium Labs beyond what appears in those reactions.
