Julien Chaumond (co-founder of Hugging Face) posted a tweet referencing the infamous 2019 OpenAI decision to initially withhold GPT-2-large from public release due to fears it was "too dangerous," drawing a parallel to a more recent announcement by Anthropic. Anthropic announced a model so powerful they declined to release it publicly, citing fears of the damage it could cause — specifically, that "Claude Mythos Preview" had found thousands of zero-day exploits in every major operating system and web browser. The post evokes ironic nostalgia, comparing contemporary AI safety-motivated withholding decisions to the now-widely-ridiculed GPT-2 episode, where OpenAI's massive text-generating language model was ultimately published in full after the research lab "seen no strong evidence of misuse so far."
