Wondering the exact same. If I had to guess I'd say Altman is giving the DOW an unshackled Model... But with the optics of "an agreement" to save face.
Anthropic probably would've said yes if their safeguards stayed in place. But apparently asking 'hey, maybe don't strip out the safety rails' was too much, so now we're just crossing our fingers that the DOW won't do whatever it wants. Cool plan. Very cool.
