Anthropic wants tests, not bans, as OpenAI and Google back open weights

Anthropic says open-weight AI models should not be banned.

Instead, it wants mandatory pre-release safety tests for sufficiently capable models.

The proposal also calls for tighter chip export controls and anti-distillation measures.

OpenAI and Google backed the idea, while Nvidia launched a separate open-security alliance.

A major open question is where to set the capability threshold and how to enforce testing globally.
