Private models should be banned because they can't be transparently evaluated. We have to trust the same entities that made them to evaluate them, in spite of their gigantic conflict of interest in doing so.
Therefore only open weight models can be allowed, since this allows genuine third party evaluation.

Don't we already have third party NGOs such as METR which do risk assessments for unreleased, closed models?
