Dario Amodei Says He’s Not Against Open Models, He’s Against Selling Chips to China

Those in the industry who say they are all for open AI development have started blaming frontier AI model providers, especially Anthropic, for pushing the Trump administration towards adopting a stricter stance favoring closed models. The company was one of several Chinese AI labs that have been accused of IP theft by Anthropic, which claims that the labs violated rules by “illicitly” extracting capabilities from its closed-source models to build their own open-source ones.
