Ng's July 24 letter in The Batch takes aim at the story "a few frontier labs have tried to tell," that open models are dangerous cyberattack vectors while guardrailed proprietary models are safe. His counterexample is operational rather than theoretical: a closed model malfunctioned on a critical vendor system and an open-weight model resolved the incident. Published three days before Amodei's rebuttal, it reframes guardrails as an availability risk rather than purely a safety feature, which is the argument the policy fight is actually about. (The Batch)
