Anthropic's Amodei Calls for 3-Step Plan to Slow AI Model Advances

Dario Amodei's September 2026 essay argues the AI industry must deliberately decelerate frontier model training and open access to third-party evaluators like METR. The three-stage proposal moves from unilateral transparency to democratic-nation standards and, eventually, global limits involving China and Russia. For AI practitioners, it signals near-term evaluation scrutiny and a possible shift in how frontier labs define responsible scaling.
