Foundation models are largely economies of scale plays at this point. The training data and the research is largely accessible. Just a matter of time and capital (and there's a lot of it).

Something's not right here: “Anthropic estimates its frontier model will require on the order of 10^25 FLOPs ... several orders of magnitude larger than even the biggest models today”? @EpochAIResearch estimate GPT-4 needed 2.2*10^25 FLOPs, so which claim is wrong?

“Companies that train the best models will be too far ahead for anyone to catch up” This is the biggest safety issue of all, but not many want to point to this elephant in the room. A private company with backing from investor whose motives and ties we will never know.

“Anthropic estimates its frontier model will require on the order of 10^25 FLOPs.” Hoping that @AnthropicAI is not the modern-day equivalent of Japan's Firth Generation Computing. A four year plan requiring $5 billion in investment is certainly bold. https://techcrunch.com/...

“[Dario] Amodei split from OpenAI after a disagreement over the company's direction, namely the startup's increasingly commercial focus... [Anthropic has] been convinced of the necessity of commercialization.” LOL https://techcrunch.com/...
