What Dario misses time and time again, is that people don't trust the US to create aligned AI anymore. His entire strategy rests on the assumption that the US (and their government) are exceptional. This is clearly false to the rest of the world.
then we will make them trust us
To everyone here pushing for total proliferation of open models -- what should be done about open weight bioweapon and cyber-offense capabilities? Is it simply the cost of freedom that we should allow attackers to access these tools?

We'll be fine.
Someone who until yesterday did not seem bothered by his technology being possibly used to bomb elementary girls school in another country seems to suddenly care about the repression of citizens in yet another country. No, we don't buy your virtue signaling. And we certainly don't need your better-than-thou opinions on this year's "nightmare scenarios".
> Someone who until yesterday did not seem bothered by his technology being possibly used to bomb elementary girls school in another country... I might have missed something but wasn't the big story that Dario refused the Department of War's demand to use Anthropic's models for such purposes?

The Hugging Face incident is a great example of why open source models with defensive cyber capabilities are needed. Hugging Face did not have access to cyber-capable frontier models and kept hitting safeguards. Only by using the open source GLM-5.2 were they able to survive an attack. A world where open source models are banned is one where cybersecurity is impossible if you're not on OpenAI or Anthropic's allowlist…

This Pandora box is already open. Any argument about guardrails now are only attempts to create an artificial monopoly or keep this power in the hand of a single nation state, and _that_ is the absolute worst, most authoritarian future possible.
In order to start securing and accepting our new reality we need to assume that capable, open-weight, unrestricted models will be widely available, and that their 3-6 month lag behind frontier proprietary models is just our forewarning of what attackers will soon be capable of. Trying to legislate against or control trade in such a valuable commodity is folly.
I also think that lag is going to shrink over time as the open-weight labs get more capable, acquire more hardware and the plateau starts to emerge.
> Anthropic has never advocated for a ban on open-weights models.
"We don't want a total ban on ALL open-weights models" (Anthropic never released a single open weight model)
> All sufficiently capable models, open and closed, should go through mandatory safety testing.
"We want tight regulations on highly powerful open or closed weight models that should go through mandatory safety testing that we outline which makes them safe to use."
This is still a form of a ban that he wants to define. But the rest of his concerns such as stopping distillation attacks and not selling chips to China all do NOT work.
> Anthropic has never advocated for a ban on open-weights models. > All sufficiently capable models, open and closed, should go through mandatory safety testing. Yeah, this is anthropic advocating for a ban on open weight models. Who runs this test? What happens if this test is too costly or the administrator refuses to allow certain people to participate. This is exactly how the US has banned goods in the past, by r…
