Our consistent position has been that testing and evaluations would best govern actual risks. No measured risk: no restrictions. The White House Executive Order put the models of concern at those which have 10^26 FLOPs of training compute. There are no open weights models at this threshold to consider. We support open weights models as we've outlined here: https://www.anthropic.com/news/third-party-testing . We also talk specifically about how to avoid regulatory capture and to have open, third-party evaluators. One thing that we've been advocating for, in particular, is the National Research Cloud and the US has one such effort in National AI Research Resource that needs more investment and fair, open accessibility so that all of society has inputs into the discussion.
