TREE NEWS update: OpenAI president and co-founder Greg Brockman said any slowdown in AI development should be limited to companies building the most powerful models, such as his own. “A lot of people ask, ‘Can I keep working on my open-source model? Can I keep working on my hobby project?’ The answer should be, of course,” Brockman said. “When we talk about pacing, we’re really talking about the frontier of the field — these giant supercomputing models that cost hundreds of billions of dollars.”
OpenAI’s Brockman: Any AI Slowdown Should Apply Only to Frontier Models
Brockman is drawing a regulatory line between frontier labs and everyone else, which matters because the policy debate has often blurred that distinction. The framing favors smaller developers and open-source work, but it also cedes the toughest governance questions to the handful of firms best positioned to shape them. Whether that tiered approach gains traction with regulators, or is read as incumbents writing their own exemptions, is the open question.
