METR audit suggests Anthropic may have crossed its own AI acceleration warning threshold in July
Nonprofit METR audited Anthropic's internal research data over eleven weeks and found that the pace of model development has roughly doubled, with about 80 percent of the speedup driven by AI-assisted research. Anthropic redacted the most informative evidence, so the public must rely heavily on METR's judgment. The findings suggest Anthropic may have crossed its own AI acceleration warning threshold back in July, though some internal voices remain skeptical.
