Strategic openness can strengthen AI safety and support broader access as defenses and safety science mature.

Abstract: Safe open-weight models are public goods, as they put AI development and safety work in many hands and make training choices inspectable. Open models also carry real misuse risks, and release is irreversible. To release safely, we must consider both the model and the ecosystem it enters. For the model, we conduct robust safety testing and research whether dangerous capabilities can be decoupled from general intelligence. For the ecosystem, we invest in its readiness through staged releases, supporting defenders, and collaboration with safety researchers. By iteratively choosing the m
