Anthropic AI research speeds up while company urges caution
A new report from METR found Anthropic is using artificial intelligence to accelerate its own development despite calls for a slowdown.
Investigation reveals rapid progress
METR published findings after an eleven-week investigation inside the company. The study shows models are improving roughly twice as fast as they did a year ago. This acceleration continues with little sign of slowing down.
Safety access remains distinct
The probe operates separately from a program that grants safety researchers employee-like access to systems. That separate initiative began following high-profile hacking incidents over the summer. The report offers clear evidence of AI accelerating its own development.
CEO stance creates contrast
Anthropic prepares to go public even as CEO Dario Amodei calls for labs to slow down. The findings raise questions about how quickly technology could advance without human involvement. What the report leaves out is just as revealing.
