Amodei Rejects Critic, Says Anthropic Held Mythos Models Until June
Summary
Dario Amodei rejects the thrust of Nathan Calvin's critique, saying Anthropic's costly choices reflect a race-to-the-top strategy. He cites holding Mythos-class models from February to June for cyber safeguards, and says Anthropic is putting 5% of the company into a public benefit fund. He concedes some communication mistakes.
Key Points
- Amodei says Anthropic argued for a stronger version of SB53 than the one lawmakers ultimately passed.
- Amodei says Anthropic forfeits short-term business by restricting AI service sales to PRC-controlled companies.
- Amodei takes responsibility as CEO for poorly written communication, noting Anthropic employs more than 5,000 people.
