Joseph: Anthropic avoids pre-training and post-training rivalry seen at other labs
“Yeah, I think we managed to avoid this, and it's pretty collaborative. Like, we're basically all producing one model and kind of can, but I do think at other places there's been some, from what I've heard, there's been some amount of, like, friction between, b…”
