- CNBC reports Zuckerberg said in a post on X and other social media platforms: "There is a lot of debate about slowing progress on capabilities until alignment catches up. My view is that trust and alignment are quickly becoming the most important capabilities that will differentiate agents and models." He said labs that fail to "focus on alignment will fall behind".
- Zuckerberg's argument is that labs already face "significant liability if their models cause harm", so they are incentivised to prevent problems without new rules. He said Meta "delayed shipping" its Muse AI technologies for "safety and security" reasons on its own initiative: "We just did it as part of our day-to-day work because it was clearly the right thing for people and for us."
- CNBC frames the position as closer to Huang's than to Amodei's. Meta has published no evaluation results, no length of the delay and no threshold it applied; the claim that the delay was for safety reasons is the company's own and is not independently verified.
