Briefings

Anthropic's AI reportedly improved twice as fast as the previous year, driven largely by AI doing the work. METR investigated for 11 weeks inside the lab, finding no signs of slowing down and suggesting the speedup rate could be growing. The report notes that Anthropic redacted much of the data, and while experts are concerned, the findings do not confirm if the company has crossed a dangerous threshold.

Key points

• Anthropic's AI improved twice as fast as the previous year, largely due to AI doing the work.
• METR found no signs of slowing down and suggested the speedup rate could be growing.

Context

This episode explores Anthropic's rapid AI development, where the company reportedly improved twice as fast as last year. METR spent 11 weeks inside the lab, with access to data almost no one outside Anthropic has seen. The report notes that Anthropic redacted much of the data, and while experts are concerned, the findings do not confirm if the company has crossed a dangerous threshold.

Limitations

Anthropic redacted much of the report, so the full extent of METR's findings remains unknown. The report does not confirm if the company has crossed a dangerous threshold, only that the speedup rate could be growing. The investigation was conducted in November 2026, and the specific data used for analysis is not fully disclosed.
