Some experts argue that Anthropic’s position on open-weights models is not entirely altruistic.

Schrödinger’s China at once is an evil entity looking to use AI for their own nefarious purposes yet also willing to cooperate with their main competitor to prevent other actors from achieving similar goals.

Others point out the potential benefits of Anthropic’s proposed measures.

Anthropic has never advocated for a ban on open-weights models. All sufficiently capable models, open and closed, should go through mandatory safety testing.

The debate highlights the complexities of balancing AI safety with commercial interests.
