So it's really interesting to look at this in relation to all the push from industry leaders for these open weights models. When the concern that people like Dario Amodei have is that these open weights models, when they are on the frontier, when they are powerful enough and we give those to bad actors, like this was in a controlled environment. What happens when anyone has access to this kind of stuff?
So Open AI says it is now implementing stricter infrastructure controls at the cost of research velocity.
