I am very concerned, particularly if Anthropic and/or other frontier model producers begin to hit an inference performance ceiling, that Anthropic will use its safety scare tactics to lobby for the marginalization of the open weight model ecosystem. As the open models catch up, or become "good enough", they may amplify their open model hostility "to protect their moat". I see Mythos and Glasswing as cynical beginnings of this. Also note that Google, Meta, and even OpenAI have released open weight models and have nodded to the obvious research benefits they provide, whereas the Anthropic "Public Benefit Corporation" has done no such public benefit. The valuation and success of Anthropic coupled with its "trust us and no one else" culture may be dangerous for the legal survival of open weight models.
