Just imagine Anthropic making Opus open-weights now for the sake of trolling everyone. Wouldn't surprise me at this point xD

That would go against everything that Dario believes in (note that I refer to the CEO and not the company; the staff at Anthropic are not so ridiculous). He believes in Anthropic being the sole arbiter of the forefront of this technology, because it is all too dangerous in the hands of anyone else.

I’ve seen no evidence that he believes in anything. He comes off as just another slimy would-be monopolist to me.

I see no evidence that any ceo retains anything but the desire to capitalize on their marketplace of ideas for their own benefit. Like wolves inn sheep clothing, they'll put on any skin suit to convince people to keep giving them money and power.

And it has nothing to do with the individual, from what I can tell, 70% of the population placed in their position would become the same type of uberpath.

That OpenAI releases Sol as downloadable weights feels way more likely than Anthropic releasing even the tiniest of models for download.

Has Anthropic released anything at all, ever?

Anthropic has a lot of interpretability work, but they are extremely defensive about everything else. Dario doesn't really believe in releasing anything. Despite how he acts in terms of some sort of highly principle driven saviour (machines of loving grace) he clearly is more business minded then anything else.

For example they don't even tell you anything about the tokenization. They even do random chunking and padding to avoid leaking the token strings in the streaming api after it got reverse engineered. (See: https://spylab.ai/blog/claude-tokenizer/)

Not voluntarily

It amuses me that that PRs for the claude code source code are still openm

Model Context Protocol

They released it because they knew MCP was slop

safety datasets and a lot of safety related research
