# Quoting Jeremy Howard > Source: > Published: 2026-06-10 15:23:34+00:00 Easy solution to slow down recursive AI self improvement: - The lab with the top-ranked model must agree THEY must not use it for working on frontier AI - But everyone else should have access to it. By definition, this means the frontier doesn't advance. It also has the critical benefit of avoiding a dangerous power imbalance. Anthropic has chosen the oppositeof the safe path: they are allowing themselves, the current top lab, to use their top model for frontier AI research. They've said they'll sabotage others who try.This means the AI frontier advances, & power imbalance increases. (To be clear, Idon't think we should try to slow down recursive AI self improvement - I think we should open it up and democratize it as much as possible. My point is: ifyouclaim we should slow down, and you have the best model, you should ensure your org can't use it.) — [Jeremy Howard](https://twitter.com/jeremyphoward/status/2064595816875217362), in a Twitter thread Tags: [ai-ethics](https://simonwillison.net/tags/ai-ethics), [anthropic](https://simonwillison.net/tags/anthropic), [generative-ai](https://simonwillison.net/tags/generative-ai), [claude-mythos](https://simonwillison.net/tags/claude-mythos), [jeremy-howard](https://simonwillison.net/tags/jeremy-howard), [ai](https://simonwillison.net/tags/ai), [llms](https://simonwillison.net/tags/llms)
