METR report finds AI is accelerating Anthropic’s model development

AI safety organization METR conducted an 11-week investigation into Anthropic’s use of AI for research and development. The report says Anthropic’s models are improving roughly twice as quickly as they were a year ago, offering evidence that AI-assisted development may be accelerating progress on more powerful AI systems. Researchers are concerned about the potential safety implications of this feedback loop.

Anthropic is using AI to build more powerful AI. And it appears to be working remarkably well, with the company's models improving roughly twice as quickly as a year ago, with little indication of slowing down.

That's according to a new report published Thursday by the AI safety research organization METR, following an 11-week investigation inside the company, as part of a report evaluating its AI research and development. The probe is separate from a program offering safety researchers "employee-like" access to systems in the wake of high-profile hacking incidents over the summer.

The findings offer some of the clearest evidence yet of AI …
