Great news! But we have no idea what Anthropic did to make the models “safe,” what commitments Anthropic has made going forward, and whether or how any of this applies to other frontier models in the government’s licensing queue.

This opacity will not lend itself well to a stable, investable, trustworthy industry over time. But USG needn’t figure all this out in a day, and a two-week review timeline is not insane in the grand scheme of things. The status quo is not tenable, but we made progress today: the Anthropic models are available worldwide. That progress is just a first step, but it is worthy of applause nonetheless.
