1. He's made many posts about how he thinks "dangerous" models are bad (https://www.anthropic.com/news/position-open-weights-models)
2. He writes posts proving Chinese open weight models are "dangerous" (https://insightsintegration.com/anthropic-warns-of-advanced-...)
3. He talks about about how he wants stronger govt regulation of AI (https://www-cdn.abcnews.com/Business/exclusive-anthropic-ceo...), and explicitly mentions he does not trust China at all and doesn't want them to have Mythos.
Do the math: 1 + 2 + 3 = he wants to regulate/ban the Chinese open weights.
Of course, Anthropic and OpenAI will then write posts about how their own models are dangerous - but that's okay, they're the good guys.
He's completely transparently campaigning for regulation. It must be very frustrating to him that the Trump admin is completely non-responsive. He probably thought Anthropic would have the whole market stitched up and water tight by now.
OpenAI and Anthropic aren’t even slightly worried about DeepSeek.

Are you living under a rock and never read any of Dario's blog posts?
Let me give you an example, here: https://darioamodei.com/post/policy-on-the-ai-exponential
Section "1. *Regulation* and public safety" (emphasis mine), then under it:
> AI companies that develop advanced AI models must have strong security standards that protect their model weights
You can't "protect model weights" if the weights are openly available, ergo this is an explicit call for regulation to make open weights illegal.
May this kind of worry find me…
The model makers are bricking the models with their system prompts, and even the tools are tamper proof.
You can only use it their way. They think we’re stupid.
And their way is the shit way, the babyproofed way, while they talk to you about their unfucked models hacking out of their labs and hacking into other labs, and reminding you you have zero rights.
Fuck them twice, then once more… This is about compute. Who owns compute. China is saying fuck you all we can scale things bigger than you can imagine. And they can! They have so much more energy! Theyre closer to commercial fusion than us too. Meanwhile our guys are trying to… regulate? Lol
