Summary

The author argues that Anthropic's call for a pause in AI development is a cover story to eventually ban Chinese AI models under the guise of security, as Chinese models like Deepseek, Minimax, Kimi, and Qwen are catching up at a fraction of the cost.

I’m saying it now, how anthropic has called for a pause in AI development so labs can come together in the name of safety is just the cover story. Eventually Chinese models like Deepseek, Minimax, Kimi, Qwen will catchup quickly to Fable/Mythos 5 level benchmarks. This pause for security **in my opinion** just means the goal will be to convince you that China is stealing all your data and they are a national security risk so they can ban these models. Nothing to do with the fact that these Chinese models will eventually catch up to produce Mythos level performance at 5-10% of the price which is inevitable and will disrupt OpenAI, Anthropic and Google. Obviously? It’s for YOUR safety.
