Anthropic’s AI may have doubled its research speed, report says
What is AI is dramatically accelerating AI research?
A recent METR analysis of Anthropic’s internal metrics suggests the company’s AI systems are now automating a large part of its own research, pushing capability improvements at roughly twice the historic rate. If the trend continues, the acceleration could reach levels that some models equate with a step toward superintelligence within a year.
Who it is for
AI developers and policy makers should watch, because the pace of AI-driven R&D could outstrip existing oversight frameworks.
