Re: Why isn't the industry freaking out about DeepSeek 4.1 Flash?

I think the industry is freaking out about open weights models in general, if not specifically DeepSeek. That is why we're now on the ~4th call for pacing the frontier from the very people who, if they wanted to pace the frontier, would simply do it rather than asking Washington to get involved.

And it's why people like Hillary Clinton have been trotted out to talk about the dangers of open weights models -- I mean, does she even know what that phrase means? (I know HRC is a controversial figure and I'm not bringing her up for that purpose; I just note that she and other prominent retired politicians are now doing the circuit on Anthropic's behalf.)
