NVIDIA calls out Anthropic

I think Anthropic just made a new big I think Anthropic just made a new big enemy. And for once, it's not me. It's enemy. And for once, it's not me. It's enemy. And for once, it's not me. It's Jensen, the CEO of Nvidia, who made a Jensen, the CEO of Nvidia, who made a Jensen, the CEO of Nvidia, who made a Twitter account and his first ever post Twitter account and his first ever post Twitter account and his first ever post mostly to call out Anthropic. And I know mostly to call out Anthropic. And I know mostly to call out Anthropic. And I know this doesn't look like that because this this doesn't look like that because this this doesn't look like that because this is a generic letter from Nvidia, but the is a generic letter from Nvidia, but the is a generic letter from Nvidia, but the letter is about openweight models. And letter is about openweight models. And letter is about openweight models. And this letter has been signed by pretty this letter has been signed by pretty this letter has been signed by pretty much everyone you could think of in the much everyone you could think of in the much everyone you could think of in the AI and AI adjacent space from Amazon and AI and AI adjacent space from Amazon and AI and AI adjacent space from Amazon and AMD to Cloudflare and Bolt to Comcast. AMD to Cloudflare and Bolt to Comcast. AMD to Cloudflare and Bolt to Comcast. Obviously Google snuck in here. Obviously Google snuck in here. Obviously Google snuck in here. Companies like Mistral of course they Companies like Mistral of course they Companies like Mistral of course they want to be in here. They're open weight. want to be in here. They're open weight. want to be in here. They're open weight. Microsoft, Meta, Nouse, Nvidia, they Microsoft, Meta, Nouse, Nvidia, they Microsoft, Meta, Nouse, Nvidia, they wrote it. But most importantly, we got wrote it. But most importantly, we got wrote it. But most importantly, we got Open AI in here. Hell, even SpaceX AI is Open AI in here. Hell, even SpaceX AI is Open AI in here. Hell, even SpaceX AI is in here. But OpenAI is, and that's the in here. But OpenAI is, and that's the in here. But OpenAI is, and that's the important one because you might notice important one because you might notice important one because you might notice one company that isn't here despite one company that isn't here despite one company that isn't here despite pretty much every other AI or AI pretty much every other AI or AI pretty much every other AI or AI adjacent company sneaking in. The one adjacent company sneaking in. The one adjacent company sneaking in. The one that's not is of course Anthropic. And that's not is of course Anthropic. And that's not is of course Anthropic. And that means we need to have a talk. Why that means we need to have a talk. Why that means we need to have a talk. Why the hell is IBM a chiller company than the hell is IBM a chiller company than the hell is IBM a chiller company than Anthropic? What do they have against Anthropic? What do they have against Anthropic? What do they have against openweight models? We could spend a openweight models? We could spend a openweight models? We could spend a bunch of time trying to infer their bunch of time trying to infer their bunch of time trying to infer their positions, but thankfully we don't have positions, but thankfully we don't have positions, but thankfully we don't have to because Dario put out a public letter to because Dario put out a public letter to because Dario put out a public letter addressing the controversy and it's a, addressing the controversy and it's a, addressing the controversy and it's a, as is most writing from Daario, it's an as is most writing from Daario, it's an as is most writing from Daario, it's an interesting one. So, you have any interesting one. So, you have any interesting one. So, you have any interest in openweight models, where interest in openweight models, where interest in openweight models, where they are going, how inference gets they are going, how inference gets they are going, how inference gets cheaper, and what's going on at the cheaper, and what's going on at the cheaper, and what's going on at the frontier. I'm sure you will love this.

And to be real here, the only companies relevant in this post the only companies relevant in this post the only companies relevant in this post directly are of course Moonshot. They're directly are of course Moonshot. They're directly are of course Moonshot. They're talking about Moonshot's model K3 as talking about Moonshot's model K3 as talking about Moonshot's model K3 as well as Anthropic. But there is one more well as Anthropic.

That's Nvidia chips. Both this GB300. That's Nvidia chips. Both this GB300. That's Nvidia chips. Both Anthropic and Moonshot rely heavily on Anthropic and Moonshot rely heavily on Anthropic and Moonshot rely heavily on Nvidia hardware to actually train their Nvidia hardware to actually train their Nvidia hardware to actually train their models and also host those same models. models and also host those same models. models and also host those same models. Which means that Nvidia benefits greatly Which means that Nvidia benefits greatly Which means that Nvidia benefits greatly when more people are training, more when more people are training, more when more people are training, more people are hosting, and more people are people are hosting, and more people are people are hosting, and more people are doing more things with AI.

Despite all the attempts to move to Despite all the attempts to move to Despite all the attempts to move to other things, Nvidia has absolutely other things, Nvidia has absolutely other things, Nvidia has absolutely crushed in both research and hosting of crushed in both research and hosting of crushed in both research and hosting of models. This isn't a screw Nvidia or models. This isn't a screw Nvidia or models. This isn't a screw Nvidia or even a screw moonshot post. This is a even a screw moonshot post. This is a even a screw moonshot post. This is a attempt to cause a loss of faith in attempt to cause a loss of faith in attempt to cause a loss of faith in openweight models from China because for openweight models from China because for openweight models from China because for various reasons, China is where the various reasons, China is where the various reasons, China is where the majority of openweight models are coming majority of openweight models are coming majority of openweight models are coming from. Again, watch my video about the from. Again, watch my video about the from. Again, watch my video about the labs being scared of Kimmy to better labs being scared of Kimmy to better labs being scared of Kimmy to better understand all of this. There's a lot of understand all of this. There's a lot of understand all of this. There's a lot of reasons that the Chinese labs are reasons that the Chinese labs are reasons that the Chinese labs are choosing to go openweight with their choosing to go openweight with their choosing to go openweight with their models, and China itself is definitely models, and China itself is definitely models, and China itself is definitely part of that strategy, but this post can part of that strategy, but this post can part of that strategy, but this post can and often was interpreted as an and often was interpreted as an and often was interpreted as an anti-openweight post, which is why anti-openweight post, which is why anti-openweight post, which is why everyone cooked him in the replies. I everyone cooked him in the replies. I everyone cooked him in the replies. I don't remember letting Anthropic scrape don't remember letting Anthropic scrape don't remember letting Anthropic scrape my GitHub profile as well as all of my my GitHub profile as well as all of my my GitHub profile as well as all of my online writing, citing the fact that online writing, citing the fact that online writing, citing the fact that Anthropic copied a lot of content from Anthropic copied a lot of content from Anthropic copied a lot of content from the internet, so why can't other labs the internet, so why can't other labs the internet, so why can't other labs copy from their work? Lol. Apparently, copy from their work? Lol. Apparently, copy from their work? Lol. Apparently, the show still continues even when we're the show still continues even when we're the show still continues even when we're all aware of how you are fed these lines all aware of how you are fed these lines all aware of how you are fed these lines by anthropic funded lobbyists. Can you by anthropic funded lobbyists. Can you by anthropic funded lobbyists. Can you describe what distillation is to me? And describe what distillation is to me? And describe what distillation is to me? And of course, a personal favorite, given of course, a personal favorite, given of course, a personal favorite, given that Fable 5 refuses to do much of the that Fable 5 refuses to do much of the that Fable 5 refuses to do much of the tasks that Kimmy K3 does, I find this tasks that Kimmy K3 does, I find this tasks that Kimmy K3 does, I find this exceptionally hard to believe. Also, the exceptionally hard to believe. Also, the exceptionally hard to believe. Also, the fact that K3 came out just a few weeks fact that K3 came out just a few weeks fact that K3 came out just a few weeks after Fable went G again, there's no way after Fable went G again, there's no way after Fable went G again, there's no way they had enough data to do proper like they had enough data to do proper like they had enough data to do proper like distillation off of Fable. And now that distillation off of Fable. And now that distillation off of Fable. And now that I've used Opus 5 so much and have grown I've used Opus 5 so much and have grown I've used Opus 5 so much and have grown to hate it, I can say confidently that to hate it, I can say confidently that to hate it, I can say confidently that distilling Fable is not enough to make a distilling Fable is not enough to make a distilling Fable is not enough to make a good model. So with all of that said and good model. So with all of that said and good model. So with all of that said and all of the comms around this catching all of the comms around this catching all of the comms around this catching fire, 2 days later, Jensen made this fire, 2 days later, Jensen made this fire, 2 days later, Jensen made this public letter. For my first post, I'm public letter. For my first post, I'm public letter. For my first post, I'm sharing a letter Nvidia signed on why

And as orgs create value with AI, open weights orgs create value with AI, open weights orgs create value with AI, open weights allow them to own that value through allow them to own that value through allow them to own that value through self-improving models, specialized self-improving models, specialized self-improving models, specialized capabilities, and accumulated knowledge capabilities, and accumulated knowledge capabilities, and accumulated knowledge that drive American sovereignty and that drive American sovereignty and that drive American sovereignty and prosperity. feel like they're using the prosperity. feel like they're using the prosperity. feel like they're using the word sovereignty a bunch here just to word sovereignty a bunch here just to word sovereignty a bunch here just to appease the current admin. And now we appease the current admin. And now we appease the current admin. And now we get to the security and safety section. get to the security and safety section. get to the security and safety section. To be sure, open weights carry real and To be sure, open weights carry real and To be sure, open weights carry real and distinct risks. Once released, the distinct risks. Once released, the distinct risks. Once released, the weights are beyond the original weights are beyond the original weights are beyond the original developers control and modified versions developers control and modified versions developers control and modified versions are difficult to trace or reverse. I are difficult to trace or reverse. I are difficult to trace or reverse. I know a couple people at a couple labs know a couple people at a couple labs know a couple people at a couple labs that have been haunted by this in that have been haunted by this in that have been haunted by this in particular because normally when you're particular because normally when you're particular because normally when you're at OpenAI or Anthropic, you have a layer at OpenAI or Anthropic, you have a layer at OpenAI or Anthropic, you have a layer in between the model and the user that in between the model and the user that in between the model and the user that can filter things before the request can filter things before the request can filter things before the request goes in or the response goes out, which goes in or the response goes out, which goes in or the response goes out, which makes it a lot easier to protect. Once makes it a lot easier to protect. Once makes it a lot easier to protect. Once the weights are out there, you can't the weights are out there, you can't the weights are out there, you can't unrelease the files. People have them.

unrelease the files. People have them. unrelease the files. People have them. So if you think that your model is So if you think that your model is So if you think that your model is incapable of doing anything really incapable of doing anything really incapable of doing anything really really dangerous like manufacturing really dangerous like manufacturing really dangerous like manufacturing nuclear weapons or drugs and then it nuclear weapons or drugs and then it nuclear weapons or drugs and then it turns out somebody found a way to make turns out somebody found a way to make turns out somebody found a way to make it do that, you can't take that back. it do that, you can't take that back. it do that, you can't take that back. You can't remove that capability. The You can't remove that capability. The You can't remove that capability. The weights are out. And I know a lot of weights are out. And I know a lot of weights are out. And I know a lot of people who have struggled with this in people who have struggled with this in people who have struggled with this in particular, making sure that their particular, making sure that their particular, making sure that their testing is thorough enough that anything testing is thorough enough that anything testing is thorough enough that anything really dangerous isn't possible with the really dangerous isn't possible with the really dangerous isn't possible with the weights that they release. I also weights that they release. I also weights that they release. I also suspect this is part of the reason why suspect this is part of the reason why suspect this is part of the reason why the open weight releases for recent the open weight releases for recent the open weight releases for recent models have been delayed. things like K3 models have been delayed. things like K3 models have been delayed. things like K3 taking what was it like a week and a taking what was it like a week and a taking what was it like a week and a half from initial availability to the half from initial availability to the half from initial availability to the weights being public. That was because weights being public. That was because weights being public. That was because they wanted to be extra sure that all of they wanted to be extra sure that all of they wanted to be extra sure that all of the risks were addressed. At least I the risks were addressed. At least I the risks were addressed. At least I would assume as much. Yeah, as they say would assume as much. Yeah, as they say would assume as much. Yeah, as they say in this letter, that is a real concern. in this letter, that is a real concern. in this letter, that is a real concern. You need to make sure that these weights You need to make sure that these weights You need to make sure that these weights don't have horrible capabilities before don't have horrible capabilities before don't have horrible capabilities before they are released. But the right they are released. But the right they are released. But the right response to this risk is not to prohibit response to this risk is not to prohibit response to this risk is not to prohibit open weights. In a world where cyber open weights. In a world where cyber open weights. In a world where cyber security attackers are using advanced security attackers are using advanced security attackers are using advanced AI, defenders need access to models with AI, defenders need access to models with AI, defenders need access to models with comparable capabilities so that they can comparable capabilities so that they can comparable capabilities so that they can detect, simulate, and respond to detect, simulate, and respond to detect, simulate, and respond to emerging threats, open models broaden emerging threats, open models broaden emerging threats, open models broaden defensive capability, increase defensive capability, increase defensive capability, increase transparency, and allow vulnerabilities transparency, and allow vulnerabilities transparency, and allow vulnerabilities to be discovered and remediated across to be discovered and remediated across to be discovered and remediated across many teams. I used to not super love many teams. I used to not super love many teams. I used to not super love this point because I did kind of like this point because I did kind of like this point because I did kind of like the direction both Anthropic and OpenAI the direction both Anthropic and OpenAI the direction both Anthropic and OpenAI went with their whitelisted went with their whitelisted went with their whitelisted access programs for the companies access programs for the companies access programs for the companies building the foundations we rely on building the foundations we rely on building the foundations we rely on every day and the open source every day and the open source every day and the open source maintainers doing the same so that they maintainers doing the same so that they maintainers doing the same so that they could audit things like Windows and Mac could audit things like Windows and Mac could audit things like Windows and Mac OS and Linux. audit layers we rely on OS and Linux. audit layers we rely on OS and Linux. audit layers we rely on heavily, things like FFmpeg or OpenSSL,

heavily, things like FFmpeg or OpenSSL, heavily, things like FFmpeg or OpenSSL, and find as many of these things as and find as many of these things as and find as many of these things as possible early with unrestricted models possible early with unrestricted models possible early with unrestricted models from the major labs, so that when the from the major labs, so that when the from the major labs, so that when the more restricted versions come out or more restricted versions come out or more restricted versions come out or open weight versions come out that the open weight versions come out that the open weight versions come out that the likelihood that the these things can be likelihood that the these things can be likelihood that the these things can be poned goes down because they've been poned goes down because they've been poned goes down because they've been secured using the same technologies. I secured using the same technologies. I secured using the same technologies. I like the idea of early access to these like the idea of early access to these like the idea of early access to these capabilities going to the maintainers of capabilities going to the maintainers of capabilities going to the maintainers of the things that we all rely on. But the things that we all rely on. But the things that we all rely on. But we're now seeing the weird in between we're now seeing the weird in between we're now seeing the weird in between where things like the OpenAI hugging where things like the OpenAI hugging where things like the OpenAI hugging face hack occurred where OpenAI face hack occurred where OpenAI face hack occurred where OpenAI accidentally let GPT6 break out of an accidentally let GPT6 break out of an accidentally let GPT6 break out of an isolated offline sandbox through isolated offline sandbox through isolated offline sandbox through multiple exploits. It found get into multiple exploits. It found get into multiple exploits. It found get into another sandbox with internet access and another sandbox with internet access and another sandbox with internet access and then route through that to pone external then route through that to pone external then route through that to pone external services like HuggingFace. And then when services like HuggingFace. And then when services like HuggingFace. And then when HuggingFace tried to use 56 to defend HuggingFace tried to use 56 to defend HuggingFace tried to use 56 to defend themselves, they got rejections and themselves, they got rejections and themselves, they got rejections and errors from the OpenAI APIs. And the errors from the OpenAI APIs. And the errors from the OpenAI APIs. And the same with Anthropics when they tried same with Anthropics when they tried same with Anthropics when they tried Fable. So they had to rely on an Fable. So they had to rely on an Fable. So they had to rely on an internal GLM52 instance that was internal GLM52 instance that was internal GLM52 instance that was unrestricted in order to defend unrestricted in order to defend unrestricted in order to defend themselves from GPT6. That's insane. themselves from GPT6. That's insane. themselves from GPT6. That's insane. Like it's happened. We have now crossed Like it's happened. We have now crossed Like it's happened. We have now crossed the threshold and the frontier labs are the threshold and the frontier labs are the threshold and the frontier labs are not providing enough access to enough not providing enough access to enough not providing enough access to enough people with enough speed to keep people with enough speed to keep people with enough speed to keep themselves safe. So open weights as a in themselves safe. So open weights as a in themselves safe. So open weights as a in between protection method are between protection method are between protection method are effectively necessary now because the effectively necessary now because the effectively necessary now because the labs move too slow since anthropic and labs move too slow since anthropic and labs move too slow since anthropic and open AI didn't do enough with this early open AI didn't do enough with this early open AI didn't do enough with this early access program. We now have to lean on access program. We now have to lean on access program. We now have to lean on these open weight models to protect these open weight models to protect these open weight models to protect ourselves from even them which is kind ourselves from even them which is kind ourselves from even them which is kind of crazy. It's almost the thing OpenAI of crazy. It's almost the thing OpenAI of crazy. It's almost the thing OpenAI feared initially which is why I'm feared initially which is why I'm feared initially which is why I'm thankful that they're being reasonable thankful that they're being reasonable thankful that they're being reasonable about all of this. They're being about all of this. They're being about all of this. They're being reasonably supportive of openweight reasonably supportive of openweight reasonably supportive of openweight stuff and they even signed this letter.

stuff and they even signed this letter. stuff and they even signed this letter. The letter goes as far as saying that The letter goes as far as saying that The letter goes as far as saying that openness may be one of the most openness may be one of the most openness may be one of the most important paths to AI safety and important paths to AI safety and important paths to AI safety and security. Relying solely on closed security. Relying solely on closed security. Relying solely on closed models is not inherently safe. They can models is not inherently safe. They can models is not inherently safe. They can be breached, misused, or fail in ways be breached, misused, or fail in ways be breached, misused, or fail in ways that outsiders cannot detect. Yeah, we that outsiders cannot detect. Yeah, we that outsiders cannot detect. Yeah, we just saw all that. And concentrating just saw all that. And concentrating just saw all that. And concentrating advanced AI capabilities behind a small advanced AI capabilities behind a small advanced AI capabilities behind a small number of closed models compounds that number of closed models compounds that number of closed models compounds that risk. It results in a smaller number of risk. It results in a smaller number of risk. It results in a smaller number of single points of failure weakens single points of failure weakens single points of failure weakens competition and it leaves critical competition and it leaves critical competition and it leaves critical technology in the hands of just a few technology in the hands of just a few technology in the hands of just a few providers. OpenWeight models on the providers. OpenWeight models on the providers. OpenWeight models on the other hand allow a broad community of other hand allow a broad community of other hand allow a broad community of researchers and developers to examine researchers and developers to examine researchers and developers to examine their behavior, identify their behavior, identify their behavior, identify vulnerabilities, develop safeguards, and vulnerabilities, develop safeguards, and vulnerabilities, develop safeguards, and improve them over time. Just as open- improve them over time. Just as open- improve them over time. Just as open- source software demonstrated that source software demonstrated that source software demonstrated that transparency can be more secure than transparency can be more secure than transparency can be more secure than obscurity, AI safety may depend on obscurity, AI safety may depend on obscurity, AI safety may depend on giving more people the ability to test giving more people the ability to test giving more people the ability to test and strengthen the models on which and strengthen the models on which and strengthen the models on which society relies.

I do have to call out that this section feels kind of out that this section feels kind of out that this section feels kind of written to boost their sales because if written to boost their sales because if written to boost their sales because if you get the government to expand access you get the government to expand access you get the government to expand access to compute for startups and researchers,

to compute for startups and researchers, to compute for startups and researchers, they are getting the government to pay they are getting the government to pay they are getting the government to pay Nvidia for chips.

He's clearly the most capable threat. He's clearly the most capable threat. He's concerned that they are building AI concerned that they are building AI concerned that they are building AI models that are more powerful than those models that are more powerful than those models that are more powerful than those built by the US, and that they can use built by the US, and that they can use built by the US, and that they can use them to achieve permanent military them to achieve permanent military them to achieve permanent military superiority or to perpetuate incredibly superiority or to perpetuate incredibly superiority or to perpetuate incredibly deep repressions of their own people. deep repressions of their own people. deep repressions of their own people. Concern is widely shared within the US Concern is widely shared within the US Concern is widely shared within the US government. Vice President Vance warned government. Vice President Vance warned government. Vice President Vance warned in Paris last year that authoritarian in Paris last year that authoritarian in Paris last year that authoritarian regimes have stolen and used AI to regimes have stolen and used AI to regimes have stolen and used AI to strengthen their military intelligence strengthen their military intelligence strengthen their military intelligence and surveillance capabilities. And the and surveillance capabilities. And the and surveillance capabilities. And the intelligence community's 2026 annual intelligence community's 2026 annual intelligence community's 2026 annual threat assessment found that quote other threat assessment found that quote other threat assessment found that quote other global powers robust progress in AI is global powers robust progress in AI is global powers robust progress in AI is challenging US economic competitiveness challenging US economic competitiveness challenging US economic competitiveness and national security advantages.

It is irrelevant whether these models are released with open weights models are released with open weights models are released with open weights and certainly irrelevant whether they and certainly irrelevant whether they and certainly irrelevant whether they are used by US businesses. In fact, the are used by US businesses. In fact, the are used by US businesses. In fact, the most dangerous model may be one that is most dangerous model may be one that is most dangerous model may be one that is trained in secret and handed only to the trained in secret and handed only to the trained in secret and handed only to the People's Liberation Army for use in People's Liberation Army for use in People's Liberation Army for use in drones in the Ministry of State drones in the Ministry of State drones in the Ministry of State Securities for surveillance and Securities for surveillance and Securities for surveillance and repression. This is fair. I don't think repression. This is fair. I don't think repression. This is fair. I don't think this will happen simply because like this will happen simply because like this will happen simply because like it's so expensive to create these models it's so expensive to create these models it's so expensive to create these models and they have so much value outside of and they have so much value outside of and they have so much value outside of like private military use that that like private military use that that like private military use that that won't happen.

There god there's how many M dashes are on this page? 38 M how many M dashes are on this page? 38 M how many M dashes are on this page? 38 M dashes. Okay, it's counting the non-M dashes. Okay, it's counting the non-M dashes. Okay, it's counting the non-M dash ones in open weights, but that's dash ones in open weights, but that's dash ones in open weights, but that's only 14 of them. Cool. So, that means only 14 of them. Cool. So, that means only 14 of them. Cool. So, that means there are 24 m dashes on this page. there are 24 m dashes on this page. there are 24 m dashes on this page. That's great. Anyways, maybe Daario is That's great. Anyways, maybe Daario is That's great. Anyways, maybe Daario is the reason that models like Mdash so the reason that models like Mdash so the reason that models like Mdash so much. Also, I hate the formatting here.

Open weights models, it does not matter Open weights models, it does not matter Open weights models, it does not matter whether they come from China or anywhere whether they come from China or anywhere whether they come from China or anywhere else, do potentially present a higher else, do potentially present a higher else, do potentially present a higher risk than closed models because it's risk than closed models because it's risk than closed models because it's very difficult to apply guard rails to very difficult to apply guard rails to very difficult to apply guard rails to them or monitor their usage. And once them or monitor their usage. And once them or monitor their usage. And once the weights are released, they cannot be the weights are released, they cannot be the weights are released, they cannot be withdrawn. Banning the use of these withdrawn. Banning the use of these withdrawn. Banning the use of these models by US businesses does nothing to models by US businesses does nothing to models by US businesses does nothing to address this risk because bad actors are address this risk because bad actors are address this risk because bad actors are unlikely to be legitimate US businesses. unlikely to be legitimate US businesses. unlikely to be legitimate US businesses. It would protect US AI companies from It would protect US AI companies from It would protect US AI companies from competition, but that has never been his competition, but that has never been his competition, but that has never been his goal. Okay, he called it out directly goal. Okay, he called it out directly goal. Okay, he called it out directly here. For what it is worth, I don't here. For what it is worth, I don't here. For what it is worth, I don't actually think Daario is scared of actually think Daario is scared of actually think Daario is scared of openweight models taking away his openweight models taking away his openweight models taking away his business or their success. I think he is business or their success. I think he is business or their success. I think he is scared of people having access to good scared of people having access to good scared of people having access to good AI if it's not through Anthropic servers AI if it's not through Anthropic servers AI if it's not through Anthropic servers because he's genuinely so convinced he because he's genuinely so convinced he because he's genuinely so convinced he is the only one and his company's the is the only one and his company's the is the only one and his company's the only one doing it right and safe.

Here are the measures that Dario goes. Here are the measures that Dario goes. Here are the measures that Dario does support and he has continued to does support and he has continued to does support and he has continued to advocate for throughout his time at advocate for throughout his time at advocate for throughout his time at Anthropic. First, he says that we should Anthropic. First, he says that we should Anthropic. First, he says that we should not sell powerful chips or chipmaking not sell powerful chips or chipmaking not sell powerful chips or chipmaking equipment to China. And we also have to equipment to China. And we also have to equipment to China. And we also have to crack down on the smuggling that has crack down on the smuggling that has crack down on the smuggling that has been going on. Links to a justice.gov been going on.

Interesting. Kind of possibly at large. Interesting. Kind of possibly at large. Interesting. Kind of crazy to link an article from March from crazy to link an article from March from crazy to link an article from March from the US government about three random the US government about three random the US government about three random people trying to sneak GPUs out of the people trying to sneak GPUs out of the people trying to sneak GPUs out of the US, but sure. China has limited domestic US, but sure. China has limited domestic US, but sure. China has limited domestic production capacity and therefore due to production capacity and therefore due to production capacity and therefore due to the scaling laws cannot build more the scaling laws cannot build more the scaling laws cannot build more powerful models in the US without US powerful models in the US without US powerful models in the US without US chips. US chips that are manufactured at chips. US chips that are manufactured at chips. US chips that are manufactured at TSMC, by the way. Anyways, his next TSMC, by the way. Anyways, his next TSMC, by the way. Anyways, his next policy belief is that we should crack policy belief is that we should crack policy belief is that we should crack down on industrial scale distillation down on industrial scale distillation down on industrial scale distillation operations. Distillation is a much more operations. Distillation is a much more operations. Distillation is a much more compute efficient process than training compute efficient process than training compute efficient process than training models from scratch. crazy because you models from scratch. crazy because you models from scratch. crazy because you just did a big distillation pass on opus just did a big distillation pass on opus just did a big distillation pass on opus and didn't seem to work too great. It and didn't seem to work too great. It and didn't seem to work too great. It allows China to build much better models allows China to build much better models allows China to build much better models than its number of chips would than its number of chips would than its number of chips would ordinarily enable and thus partially ordinarily enable and thus partially ordinarily enable and thus partially evade chip bands. Distillation does not evade chip bands. Distillation does not evade chip bands. Distillation does not allow the CCB to obtain equivalent or allow the CCB to obtain equivalent or allow the CCB to obtain equivalent or superior AI capabilities to the US, but superior AI capabilities to the US, but superior AI capabilities to the US, but it can bring the Chinese frontier to it can bring the Chinese frontier to it can bring the Chinese frontier to within a few months of the US frontier. within a few months of the US frontier. within a few months of the US frontier. Yeah, and I think that's totally Yeah, and I think that's totally Yeah, and I think that's totally reasonable and fine. It is true that reasonable and fine. It is true that reasonable and fine. It is true that many of the companies carrying out these many of the companies carrying out these many of the companies carrying out these distillation operations release distillation operations release distillation operations release openweight models, but the open weights openweight models, but the open weights openweight models, but the open weights are far less relevant than the fact that are far less relevant than the fact that are far less relevant than the fact that the operations are backed by an the operations are backed by an the operations are backed by an authoritarian state seeking to overtake authoritarian state seeking to overtake authoritarian state seeking to overtake the US at the frontier. We should have the US at the frontier. We should have the US at the frontier. We should have policy interventions to deter this policy interventions to deter this policy interventions to deter this behavior. A blanket ban on openweight behavior. A blanket ban on openweight behavior. A blanket ban on openweight models is neither the correct remedy nor models is neither the correct remedy nor models is neither the correct remedy nor something that we have called for. Okay, something that we have called for. Okay, something that we have called for. Okay, so again, he is mad that they don't get so again, he is mad that they don't get so again, he is mad that they don't get to be the exclusive distillers of what to be the exclusive distillers of what to be the exclusive distillers of what they have built with Fable. On that they have built with Fable. On that they have built with Fable. On that note, I would highly recommend that note, I would highly recommend that note, I would highly recommend that everybody listening right now turn on everybody listening right now turn on everybody listening right now turn on permanent logging inside of their cloud permanent logging inside of their cloud permanent logging inside of their cloud code, codecs, cursor, and everything

code, codecs, cursor, and everything code, codecs, cursor, and everything else and store all of those logs. If you else and store all of those logs. If you else and store all of those logs. If you use something like CLI proxy API, which use something like CLI proxy API, which use something like CLI proxy API, which I rely on heavily for all of my routing I rely on heavily for all of my routing I rely on heavily for all of my routing for cloud models, you can set up a flag for cloud models, you can set up a flag for cloud models, you can set up a flag in it to store all of the logs of every in it to store all of the logs of every in it to store all of the logs of every request that comes in and out. So, if request that comes in and out. So, if request that comes in and out. So, if you hypothetically wanted to refine an you hypothetically wanted to refine an you hypothetically wanted to refine an open weight model to act more like Fable open weight model to act more like Fable open weight model to act more like Fable the way you used it, you can. And in a the way you used it, you can. And in a the way you used it, you can. And in a world where Enthropic is doing world where Enthropic is doing world where Enthropic is doing everything they can to lock this data everything they can to lock this data everything they can to lock this data down and prevent others from having it, down and prevent others from having it, down and prevent others from having it, you should do your best to keep your own you should do your best to keep your own you should do your best to keep your own because this might end up being much because this might end up being much because this might end up being much more important in the future with the more important in the future with the more important in the future with the direction things are going. His third direction things are going. His third direction things are going. His third request is that all sufficiently capable request is that all sufficiently capable request is that all sufficiently capable models, whether they're open or closed, models, whether they're open or closed, models, whether they're open or closed, should go through mandatory safety should go through mandatory safety should go through mandatory safety testing. The best way to address the testing. The best way to address the testing. The best way to address the threats he is concerned about is to just threats he is concerned about is to just threats he is concerned about is to just directly test the models for cyber, directly test the models for cyber, directly test the models for cyber, biological, and alignment risks before biological, and alignment risks before biological, and alignment risks before release. This idea is pretty close to a release. This idea is pretty close to a release. This idea is pretty close to a consensus. He's been heartened both that consensus. He's been heartened both that consensus. He's been heartened both that the Trump admin has moved in this the Trump admin has moved in this the Trump admin has moved in this direction in recent months and by recent direction in recent months and by recent direction in recent months and by recent industry proposals that would apply such industry proposals that would apply such industry proposals that would apply such testing to the most capable models testing to the most capable models testing to the most capable models regardless of their country of origin regardless of their country of origin regardless of their country of origin whether they are open or closed while whether they are open or closed while whether they are open or closed while exempting less capable models such as exempting less capable models such as exempting less capable models such as those from startups in academia those from startups in academia those from startups in academia entirely. Also a good call out. No entirely. Also a good call out. No entirely. Also a good call out. No academic model with limited compute is academic model with limited compute is academic model with limited compute is going to be a real risk. Whether open going to be a real risk. Whether open going to be a real risk. Whether open models do or don't pose an increased models do or don't pose an increased models do or don't pose an increased risk and whether the risk can be risk and whether the risk can be risk and whether the risk can be mitigated is something that should mitigated is something that should mitigated is something that should emerge from testing rather than be emerge from testing rather than be emerge from testing rather than be decided in advance. And there may be decided in advance. And there may be decided in advance. And there may be promising methods for improving the promising methods for improving the promising methods for improving the safety of open weights models, including safety of open weights models, including safety of open weights models, including recent research from AE Studio and recent research from AE Studio and recent research from AE Studio and Enthropic on modular training Enthropic on modular training Enthropic on modular training strategies. Note that to be effective, strategies. Note that to be effective, strategies. Note that to be effective, testing would need to be global, which testing would need to be global, which testing would need to be global, which means even the CCP would need to be on

means even the CCP would need to be on means even the CCP would need to be on board. We'll talk about this in a board. We'll talk about this in a board. We'll talk about this in a follow-up video, too, because there's follow-up video, too, because there's follow-up video, too, because there's another letter that went out recently another letter that went out recently another letter that went out recently that has a lot of anthropic employees, that has a lot of anthropic employees, that has a lot of anthropic employees, open eye employees, and deepse employees open eye employees, and deepse employees open eye employees, and deepse employees that all signed it.
