They are not unique in this. Apple and Tesla have similar programs. More nuance is warranted here. They are trying to balance the need to enable external research with the need to protect users from arbitrary 3rd parties having special capa

In this case there is almost no distinction. Assuming the model is as powerful as claimed, someone with access to the weights could do immense damage without additional significant R&D.

Now we have strong sandboxing by default and many other platform security advances to mitigate that risk. You can download any software off the Internet on macOS, so why not on iOS?

It’s great. It’s become my preferred workflow for vibe coding because it writes great commit messages, gives you a record of authorship, and rollbacks use far fewer tokens. You don’t have to (and probably shouldn’t) let it push to the remot
