Askara(@softmaxedx):The only thing that confuses me about all this “pacing the frontier” talk is: why not have a superior model act as the guard? If a model can cause problems, you could have a stronger model monitoring and constraining it. But I guess with current compute constraints, that gets expensive fast. Once capacity is abundant, I expect they'll go full ham on this.

We Must Pace the Frontier: I’ve written a new essay on why the AI industry should slow down, with a three-part plan for doing so. Anthropic is unilaterally committing to the first of these steps. We’ll provide third-party evaluators with permanent, employee-level access to our systems, so that they can verify adherence to our safety measures, report on incidents, and assess models’ alignment during training.
