Original excerpt

Nonprofit METR spent eleven weeks auditing Anthropic's internal research data and concluded that the pace of model development has roughly doubled, with about 80 percent of the speedup driven by AI-assisted research. Anthropic redacted the most informative evidence, though, which means the public has to rely on METR's judgment "much more than would be ideal." There are also skeptical voices inside the company. The article METR finds Anthropic may have crossed its own AI acceleration warning threshold back in July appeared first on The Decoder.
