- Anthropic and OpenAI have pushed for substantial control over what external AI evaluators can publish, out of concern that trade secrets could leak, according to Reuters sources.
- Both companies sought "significant" editorial restrictions on outside evaluators of their AI models, with the stated goal of protecting proprietary information disclosed during evaluations.
Why it matters: The two leading AI labs are paying outside evaluators to test their models while simultaneously restricting what those evaluators can publish, citing trade secret concerns. The structural conflict is direct: the same companies funding the evaluations are also setting editorial limits on what evaluators can disclose about the results.
