Hugging Face applies to join Anthropic Embedded Evaluator Program

Hugging Face CEO Clement Delangue announced the establishment of the Open Alignment Initiative, led by co-founder Thomas Wolf, and publicly applied to join Anthropic's "Embedded Evaluator" program. If approved, Hugging Face assessors can conduct on-site inspections of model training and safety measures. Delangue stated that AI alignment requires more external researchers to participate. Anthropic has promised to open workstations, access control, company computers, and internal risk team tools to third parties, and allow evaluators to independently publish their conclusions.
