That would create an enormous incentive for open weights, or at least for putting model weights in a lot more hands. Especially for the riskiest models. Do you want to do that?
It could be argued this makes it harder for open source. If a company has a choice between deploying their own instance of Kimi, and taking on any risk themselves, or paying for Claude and letting anthropic take the risk, who are they going to pick?
When I log into the Claude web interface and start a conversation, we generally say that I am the one running the model, not Anthropic. It is running on Anthropic’s servers, because I pay a monthly subscription fee for that, but I am the person running the model. Are you saying you want Anthropic to be liable for what I do with Claude?

Note whoever runs the model still takes on the risk, and it’s difficult to run frontier models on your laptop.
If we are still worried we can legislate to control open source models separately, through some other mechanism.
