This is the best summary I could come up with:
The fund, says the Frontier Model Forum — whose members include Anthropic, Google, Microsoft and OpenAI — will support researchers affiliated with academic institutions, research institutions and startups, with initial funding to come from both the Frontier Model Forum and its philanthropic partners, the Patrick J. McGovern Foundation, the David and Lucile Packard Foundation, former Google CEO Eric Schmidt and Estonian billionaire Jaan Tallinn.
The fund will be administered by the Meridian Institute, a nonprofit based in Washington, D.C., which will put out a call for an unspecified number of proposals “within the next few months,” the Frontier Model Forum says.
“We’re expecting additional contributions from other partners,” reads a press release put out by the Frontier Model Forum on a number of official blogs.
Open Philanthropy, the grant-making and research foundation co-founded by Facebook founder Dustin Moskovitz, has donated about $307 million on AI safety, according to an analysis on the blog Less Wrong.
And the U.S. National Science Foundation has said that it’ll spend $20 million on AI safety research over the next two years, supported in part by Open Philanthropy grants.
But even smaller, less capable models that they might wish to test would be expensive to develop with today’s hardware, ranging in cost from hundreds of thousands of dollars to millions.
