Everything I was worried about is happening now.
Anthropic and OpenAI officially teamed up. They were basically playing good cop bad cop this whole time.
Now they are calling for decel under the excuse of safety.
Like I predicted in my past posts, the real reason they want to pause is simple.
Human control over AGI or ASI is impossible, so they want to freeze development at a level they can control and rule with it.
It is all playing out exactly like the script.
The open source alliance really needs to win now.
Open models matter.
Ollama works hard with the model creators, hardware partners, and most importantly developers building software leveraging various open models for their own use cases.
Twenty years ago, Palantir was a new entrant.
Today, we stand with some of tech’s biggest and emergent players to reject a future where a select few closed, frontier models rule them all.
Sovereignty and prosperity require American leadership in a strong open-weight AI ecosystem that strengthens competition, keeps customers in control, and drives the benefits of ingenuity across the economy.
Open-weight models are essential to a healthy AI ecosystem. Together with others across our industry, we are outlining a path for open-weight models to strengthen American competitiveness and expand economic opportunity, while protecting national security. https://t.co/Tr0sAzAxTD
I had a long chat with Claude on this. There was a viable 2 week window where they could have included a Fable post-training cycle. However, this only could have impacted the polish of the outputs and not the raw knowledge from pre-training. "you can't take a weak base model and post-train it into a frontier model in two weeks."
