Anthropic Publishes Stance on Open-Weights Models
Company opposes open-weights frontier models on safety grounds while denying calls for bans.
Anthropic released a position statement outlining opposition to open-weights versions of frontier models due to safety risks. CEO Dario Amodei addressed speculation by stating the company does not support bans. Critics including Brian Roemmele, Beff Jezos, and Matthew Berman accused the firm of misanthropy and attempting to slow diffusion of advanced AI capabilities. Joshua Achiam noted the stance seeks to limit certain open-weight releases. The announcement followed industry debate over open versus closed development.

BR Brian Roemmele@BrianRoemmeleThis is how the cult of Anthropic works on otherwise beautiful minds. This is an Anthropic engineer and they are so in the kool-aid that they can’t see what THE REST OF THE WOLD SEES. As they post on systems that are 99% open source.

MS M.G. Siegler@mgsieglerEveryone seems to be falling in line behind the notion of "open" models and pushing for the US to take the lead in their build and spread. Well, everyone except Anthropic. And maybe, quietly, OpenAI. And their strange bedfellow here: the US government.
