Anthropic and OpenAI are already free to “pace the frontier” and should do so for business reasons, instead of first demanding a preferred regulatory framework — Dario has written that we need to “pace the frontier,” and Sam has agreed. People may be surprised by my response: go ahead.

Sam Altman says he agrees with Amodei that “committing to having independent evaluators with employee-like access is a great idea”, and OpenAI will do the same — I agree with Dario that we need to pace the frontier. This has been a primary topic of discussions we've had at OpenAI in recent weeks. Committing to having independent evaluators with employee-like access is a great idea, and we will do the same. We'll have more to share soon.
