Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei called for AI companies to slow the improvement of AI model capabilities and described three strategies to do it in a new blog post. He said Anthropic is “unilaterally committing” to using embedded third-party evaluators (like METR) to verify pacing and safety commitments. As a result, evaluators would get badges, desks, and laptops with access comparable to internal risk teams, while governments and other frontier firms would be urged to match the approach.
