Our position on open-weights models

Re: Our position on open-weights models
#421) LLMs turning into Skynet
2) China as geopolitical competitor
3) Claude being 'distilled' by competitors (this has led Anthropic to cut service to various American companies too from time to time -- OpenAI, xAI etc have been cut off from using Claude for coding in the past)
So this post just reiterates that these 3 concerns fuse together in his mind when thinking about open weight models

Re: Our position on open-weights models
#48Guys. Guys, you got it all wrong. We don't want to ban open-weight models! We just want to ban the competition guys! Very different. -- The ridiculous anthropic/openai strategy of selling shovels at a loss in a gold rush isn't going to play out, and the hilarious thing is that these AI companies are going to create tons of value and _capture none of it_. Their only path to profitability is if they get to capture it a…

#49Dario has like three 'paranoias' / strong-motivating-concerns 1) LLMs turning into Skynet 2) China as geopolitical competitor 3) Claude being 'distilled' by competitors (this has led Anthropic to cut service to various American companies too from time to time -- OpenAI, xAI etc have been cut off from using Claude for coding in the past) So this post just reiterates that these 3 concerns fuse together in his mind when…
