Pacing-conditioned-on-others is low-key a speed-up US: "We'll slow down -- but only within our lead over China." China: "We could slow down -- but only if it doesn't mean losing to the US." So relative position becomes the thing both optimize A race, with a safety vocabulary
We Must Pace the Frontier: I’ve written a new essay on why the AI industry should slow down, with a three-part plan for doing so. Anthropic is unilaterally committing to the first of these steps. We’ll provide third-party evaluators with permanent, employee-level access to our systems, so that they can verify adherence to our safety measures, report on incidents, and assess models’ alignment during training.

The big question is whether frontier labs beat chipmakers at chips before chipmakers beat frontier labs at training models.
OpenAI Jalapeno is spicy Usually first generation chips aren't competitive, but OpenAI is beating Nvidia Blackwell and even Rubin This is huge news! We got to go into OpenAI's lab to dissect their new chip and dive into the software, architecture, and performance Incredible work!

Treasury will not rein in yields until Pentagon reins in drones -- and/or international order is restored. teapawt.org/CounterplotCo/status/2…
