For securing that access, there are not that many options. I think the best general version we’ve come up with is compute-for-access: you build out data centres to alleviate the inference crunch and meet the demand for inference that these leading labs have, and in return, you ask them for guaranteed access to frontier models — at least at parity with the US commercial market.
