Anthropic's CEO Dario Amodei has clarified the company does not support a blanket ban on open-weight models, refuting recent criticisms. Instead, Anthropic advocates for targeted measures including export controls on advanced chips, a crackdown on industrial-scale distillation (model copying), and mandatory safety testing for all highly capable models, both open and closed, to address national security risks.
