Anthropic has clarified its stance on open-weight AI models, stating it has never advocated for a complete ban and opposes barring US businesses from using Chinese open models. Instead, the company is pushing for more targeted regulations, including export controls on advanced chips, measures against large-scale model distillation, and mandatory pre-release safety testing for highly capable models, regardless of whether they are open or closed-weight. Anthropic argues that while open-weight models without dangerous capabilities can be a public good, the release of weights for frontier models permanently removes control mechanisms, making mistakes irreversible.
