Anthropic公司的首席执行官Dario Amodei在X平台上发表了一篇长文，为公司的“力争成为行业领导者”的战略进行了辩护。他的回复是针对倡导组织Encode AI的首席战略官Nathan Calvin的批评。Amodei列举了九项决策，他认为这些决策虽然对公司的商业发展造成了负面影响，但确实提升了人工智能技术的安全性。他还表示，公司在应对Calvin的某些批评时本可以做得更好。
Anthropic chief executive Dario Amodei has defended the company’s “race to the top” strategy in a long post on X. He was replying to Nathan Calvin, chief strategy officer at the advocacy group Encode AI. Amodei listed nine decisions he said cost Anthropic commercially but made AI safer. He also said the company could have handled some of Calvin’s points better. Calvin’s criticism followed Anthropic’s response to the backlash over its leaked AI safety bill.
Calvin的批评是在Anthropic公司对其泄露的安全相关文件引发公众争议后提出的。10月19日，Calvin指出Anthropic的回应“并未真正触及问题的核心”。Amodei于周三早些时候发布了自己的回复，该回复已被浏览超过80万次。
On 19 October, he wrote that the company’s answer was “still not really engaging with the heart” of the issue. Amodei posted his reply early on Wednesday. It has been viewed more than 800,000 times. “Our strategy has always been what I’ve called the ‘race to the top’,” Amodei wrote.
“我们的战略我一直称之为‘力争成为行业领导者’，”Amodei写道，“通过展示如何负责任地开发人工智能技术，我们可以为整个行业树立新的标准。”他强调，只有当践行这一战略的公司真正处于技术前沿时，这一策略才能发挥作用。他表示自己对公司的过往表现感到自豪，并坚持这一战略。
“By showing how it’s possible to build the technology responsibly, we can raise the bar for the entire industry.”He said that strategy only works if the company practising it is at the frontier. He said he was “proud of our track record” and stood by it.
感谢你，@_NathanCalvin。我很欣赏你为人工智能安全问题所做的调查工作，也认为你的评论是出于建设性和诚实的立场。2026年10月21日：Amodei提到，Anthropic首次推出Mythos系列模型是在2月份，但直到6月份才正式向公众开放这些模型（此时公司已经实施了更严格的网络安全防护措施）；在此之前，只有少数从事网络安全工作的合作伙伴才能使用这些模型。本月早些时候，Anthropic还指出中国的GLM-5.3模型在网络攻击能力方面几乎与Mythos模型相当。
Thank you for this, @_NathanCalvin. I appreciate and am a fan of the investigative work you’ve done on behalf of AI safety and believe your comments are coming from a constructive, honest place. October 21, 2026 The nine decisions Amodei said Anthropic first had its Mythos-class models in February. It did not make them generally available until June, when stronger cyber safeguards were in place. Until then, only a small group of partners working on cyber defence could use them. Earlier this month, Anthropic said China’s GLM-5.3 nearly matches Mythos at cyber exploits.
“我们可能因此牺牲了公司在模型研发方面的领先优势（这一优势原本可以持续数月），”Amodei写道。
“We likely sacrificed a significant chunk of a several-month model lead,” Amodei wrote.
他还表示，Anthropic采取的生物安全防护措施非常严格，以至于生物学家们都会拿这些措施开玩笑；竞争对手有时会利用这一点来攻击Anthropic。此外，Anthropic还发现并阻止了多次试图利用其模型制造生物武器的企图。
He said Anthropic’s biological safeguards are strict enough that biologists joke about them, and that rivals sometimes sell against the company on this point. He said Anthropic had seen and blocked possible attempts to use its models for bioweapons.
该清单还提到了 Anthropic 在加州 SB 53 安全法案中的作用，以及该公司在 6 月份呼吁政府拥有阻止模型发布的权力。清单中还包括了 Anthropic 对向中国出口芯片实施出口管制措施的支持。Amodei 表示，据他所知，Anthropic 是唯一一家限制向中华人民共和国控制的公司销售产品的前沿科技公司。他提到，通过让一个模型根据另一个模型的答案进行训练（即“模型间的相互训练”）虽然不会构成重大的商业威胁，但确实引发了安全方面的担忧。
The list also included Anthropic’s role in California’s SB 53 safety law and his call in June for the government to have the power to block model releases. It included the company’s support for export controls on chips to China. Amodei said Anthropic was, as far as he knew, the only frontier company to restrict sales to companies controlled by the People’s Republic of China. He said distillation, training one model on another model’s answers, is no major commercial threat but raises security concerns.
清单中的最后一项是关于新的“公共利益基金”的设立：该基金将持有 Anthropic 5% 的股份，未来这一比例还可能进一步增加。
The last item was the new public benefit fund, which will hold 5% of Anthropic’s shares, and possibly more over time.
Amodei 承认 Anthropic 在应对 Calvin 提出的三点问题时表现得不够好，并将这些问题的原因归结为“措辞不当或政策沟通不清晰”——毕竟这是一家拥有超过 5000 名员工的公司。
What Amodei conceded Amodei said Anthropic could have handled three of Calvin’s points better. He put them down to “rhetoric or policy communication that wasn’t carefully written”, in a company of more than 5,000 people.
“我当然是首席执行官，因此我必须承担责任，”Amodei 写道。
“I am of course the CEO, and I take responsibility,” Amodei wrote.
他认为 Calvin 提到的关于 Anthropic 《负责任发展政策》（即其内部安全准则）的修改意见是“最实质性的问题”。他表示，旧版本的该政策过于僵化；至于是否需要在现有政策之外另行设立合规框架，他表示会进一步研究。
He called Calvin’s point about changes to Anthropic’s Responsible Scaling Policy, its internal safety rulebook, “the most substantive item”. He said the old version was too rigid. On running a separate compliance framework next to that policy, he said he would “look into it further”.
Amodei 还指出，人工智能的发展速度已经快到安全措施难以跟上其步伐。他写道，这正在影响公司对发展节奏的决策，并表示“很快会有更多相关说明”。
Amodei also said Anthropic is nearing the point where AI moves too fast for safety work to keep up. That is shaping its thinking on “pacing”, he wrote, and he would “have more to say soon”.
Vox 集团负责人工智能领域报道的 Sigal Samuel 在 X 平台上向 Amodei 提出了质疑，要求其提供证据证明这一策略的有效性。
The pushback Sigal Samuel, who covers AI for Vox, asked Amodei on X for evidence that the strategy works.
“从外部来看，Anthropic 的某些行为似乎反而加剧了‘恶性竞争’（即各公司竞相降低产品安全标准的行为），”Samuel 写道。
“From the outside, it looks like Anthropic has done more on net to drive a race to the bottom,” Samuel wrote.
