Briefings

A new METR report reveals Anthropic's AI models are improving approximately twice as fast as a year ago, indicating rapid progress in AI development. The investigation, conducted over 11 weeks, focused on the company's internal AI research and development efforts, with CEO Dario Amodei leading the organization. The findings suggest the company is not slowing down despite the rapid advancement.

Key points

• Anthropic's AI models are improving approximately twice as quickly as a year ago, according to a new METR report.
• The investigation into Anthropic's AI research and development was conducted over an 11-week period.

Context

This report comes from AI safety research organization METR, which conducted an 11-week investigation inside Anthropic following high-profile hacking incidents over the summer. The probe is separate from a program offering safety researchers 'employee-like' access to systems in the wake of those incidents.

Limitations

The evidence is limited to a single source report from METR, which may not capture the full scope of internal progress. The report does not provide specific metrics on the exact speed of improvement or the number of models developed, only the relative rate compared to a year ago. The investigation was conducted over 11 weeks, limiting the temporal scope of the findings.
