**July 26, 2023** – Today, Anthropic, Google, Microsoft, and OpenAI are announcing the formation of the Frontier Model Forum, a new industry body focused on ensuring safe and responsible development of frontier AI models. The Frontier Model Forum will draw on the technical and operational expertise of its member companies to benefit the entire AI ecosystem, such as through advancing technical evaluations and benchmarks, and developing a public library of solutions to support industrybest practices and standards.
The core objectives for the Forum are:
1. **Advancing AI safety research** to promote responsible development of frontier models, minimize risks, and enable independent, standardized evaluations of capabilities and safety.
2. **Identifying best practices** for the responsible development and deployment of frontier models, helping the public understand the nature, capabilities, limitations, and impact of the technology.
3. **Collaborating with policymakers, academics, civil society** **,** **and companies** to share knowledge about trust and safety risks.
4. **Supporting efforts to develop applications that can help meet society’s greatest challenges**, such as climate change mitigation and adaptation, early cancer detection and prevention, and combating cyber threats.
#### **Membership criteria**
The Forum defines frontier models as large-scale machine-learning models that exceed the capabilities currently present in the most advanced existing models, and can perform a wide variety of tasks.
Frontier Model Forum membership is open to organizations that:
- Develop and deploy frontier models (as defined by the Forum).
- Demonstrate strong commitment to frontier model safety, including through technical and institutional approaches.
- Are willing to contribute to advancing the Frontier Model Forum’s efforts
