"
We have added a new capability threshold related to CBRN development, which defines capabilities that could substantially uplift the development capabilities of moderately resourced state programs. Second, we have disaggregated our existing AI R&D capability thresholds, separating them into two distinct levels (the ability to fully automate entry-level AI research work, and the ability to cause dramatic acceleration in the rate of effective scaling) and have provided additional detail on the corresponding Required Safeguards.
