Anthropic CEO calls for pacing AI development, OpenAI agrees to external evaluator access

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei has proposed that frontier AI labs should pace the development of new models rather than pausing progress entirely. He outlined a three-step approach, starting with allowing independent evaluators internal access to company operations. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has agreed to match this commitment, stating OpenAI will also provide similar access to external evaluators.
