Latest update (11-09 21:27): AI Futures Project proposes verified compute allocation disclosures to pace frontier AI

Overview: The AI Futures Project says frontier AI companies should begin pacing AI development with verified compute allocation disclosures (VCAD). Under the proposal, companies would classify how their compute is used across AI R&D, safety R&D, and external inference. The authors say third-party auditors should verify these reports, ideally with government support.

The group argues VCAD is needed to enforce nearly all pacing proposals short of shutting off GPUs. It also says slowing software progress, not only training runs, is necessary to prevent a software overhang.
