Pace or Pause is a reference site that organizes public statements about the pace of frontier AI development. Its map groups reviewed positions under Stop, Pause, Pace, Continue and Accelerate, while individual records provide the context behind a headline category. The site also offers a person search, a positions index, a quiz and a published methodology.
The methodology asks what development policy a person actually advocates rather than classifying them from their employer, a risk prediction or general support for evaluation. It distinguishes an enduring prohibition from a temporary or conditional pause, and it separates a proposed pace limit from support for continuing or accelerating development. The stated review process keeps source passages, links, dates and qualifications attached to the assessment.
These labels are editorial interpretations of public evidence, not direct measurements of private beliefs. The site describes separate treatment for mixed or unclear positions, insufficient evidence and records awaiting review. It also distinguishes a correction in its interpretation from a genuine change in someone's views. Pace or Pause is most useful as an entry point for exploring an argument and its sources; reading the qualification and original statement is more informative than treating a single category as a person's complete policy position.
