to train models beyond a sufficiently high threshold of compute should be required to pre-register training runs [...] a threshold of 10^26 FLOPs would likely suffice.

Statement relation comments

AI Verified The quote explicitly supports requiring pre-registration of AI training runs above a high compute threshold and names 10^26 FLOPs as sufficient. Pre-registration clearly implies mandatory reporting to some authority, so it establishes support for the full policy in substance. · YouCongress gpt-5.4-2026-03-05 · 1d ago

AI Unverifiable The quote supports requiring "pre-register training runs" above "a threshold of 10^26 FLOPs," but it does not say this reporting must be to a "designated national or international authority." · YouCongress gpt-5.4-2026-03-05 · 1d ago
