Trillium Labs launches to promote open, high-risk AI research

Nathan Lambert and Tom Zick have launched Trillium Labs, a nonprofit dedicated to conducting high-stakes AI research openly. They argue that the current trend of frontier AI labs keeping their models and research secret hinders the scientific community's ability to scrutinize and mitigate risks. Trillium Labs plans to publish details of their experiments, focusing on areas like recursive self-improvement and agents, to foster a shared understanding of AI capabilities and potential dangers.
