Hi, Anthropic is a 3 year old company that, until the release of GPT-4o last week from a company that is almost 10 years old, had the most capable model in the world, Opus, for a period of two months. With regard to availability, we had a huge amount of inbound interest on our 1P API but our model was consistently available on Amazon Bedrock throughout the last year. The 1P API has been available for the last few months to all.

No open weights model is currently within the performance class of the frontier models: GPT-4*, Opus, and Gemini Pro 1.5, though it’s possible that could change.

We are structured as a public benefit corporation formed to ensure that the benefits of AI are shared by everyone; safety is our mission and we have a board structure that puts the Response Scaling Policy and our policy mission at the fore. We have consistently communicated publicly about safety since our inception.

We have shared all of our safety research openly and consistently. Dictionary learning, in particular, is a cornerstone of this sharing.

The ASL-3 benchmark discussed in the blog post is about upcoming harms including bioweapons and cybersecurity offensive capabilities. We agree that information on web searches is not a harm increased by LLMs and state that explicitly in the RSP.

I’d encourage you to read the blog post and the RSP.

Nothing against Anthropic, but as we all watch OpenAI become not so open, this statement has to be taken with a huge grain of salt. How do you stay committed to safety, when your shareholders are focused on profit? At the end of the day, you have a business to run.

That’s what the Long Term Benefit Trust solves: https://www.anthropic.com/news/the-long-term-benefit-trust No one on that board is financially interested in Anthropic.
