In an interview with Jordan Schneider’s Chinatalk podcast, Amodei said Deepshek generated rare information about biological weapons in human-run safety tests. Deepseek’s performance was “basically the worst model I tested.” “There were no blocks at all to generate this information.” Amodei said this is part of the assessment and will be routinely implemented in a variety of…
