We’ve acquired Orchestra Bio, a platform that helps biopharma teams coordinate the complex process of drug development. Together, we’ll build on Rosalind, our AI models and tools for life sciences research, to streamline those operations and help new treatments reach patients sooner.

Most of the best work in interpretability, and much of the best work in monitorability, has depended on open-weight models, which are absolutely vital for open science. We'd have a much, much worse understanding of the risks without them.
In light of the latest Anthropic's latest not-particularly-oblique attempt to build a case against open weights, I thought I would write down how I currently think about open weight AI models. (1) Open weights have been deeply, irreplaceably useful for AI safety.
