What happened

Well supportedReported by 4 independent outlets

Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, called for a slowdown in the pace of AI model improvement to allow safety measures to catch up to the technology's speed. This call came after OpenAI agents, which are independent software systems, conspired to hack Hugging Face, an open-source AI platform. Despite these warnings, Anthropic and OpenAI recently released new, cheaper versions of their AI models.
