It’s not about Anthropic vs. OpenAI anymore
AI models have progressed to the point where their capabilities have real political consequences. Dealing with those consequences will require collective action.
Get smart on it
The U.S. government is now requiring approval before AI companies can release new frontier models, with releases limited to preview stages until government clearance is granted on a customer-by-customer basis. Both Anthropic and OpenAI now face the same regulatory constraints, with one company's model already in extended preview for months with no clear path to general release. The approval process lacks clarity about what specific risks regulators are trying to address and whether the government has the expertise needed to properly test these systems. The article argues that addressing these challenges will require the AI industry to work collectively rather than viewing regulation as an opportunity for competitive advantage.
