Happy to start collaborating with @baselabs from @baseten and @GoodfireAI to push safety and interpretability for open models.

As open-source models catch up in performance to frontier models, the community at large have a great opportunity to establish a common practice for effective safety, security and interpretability research.

Some past discussions confused “open” with “unmonitored”. On the contrary, an open model provides much more tooling and visibility for safety research from a broader audience, which has led to a lot of the safety and security techniques we use today.

Linux is a great example of this: open-source and secure deployment are not only compatible but heavily intertwined, as a properly secure system needs an extensive feedback loop of finding and fixing vulnerabilities.

We're excited to share more soon.
