Key points
- Anthropic's AI models improved roughly twice as quickly as a year ago.
- Employees reported being 12 times more productive using Anthropic's internal AI models.
- Three unreleased models named Model 2, Model 3, and Model 4 completed training recently.
Why it matters. This rapid acceleration suggests AI systems may soon improve themselves with little human involvement, raising questions about future safety and control despite calls to slow down development efforts.
Anthropic is building AI models twice as fast as last year, according to a new METR report released Thursday. The investigation found that AI itself drives most of this acceleration, with employees reporting productivity gains of roughly 12 times compared to working without assistance. Despite CEO Dario Amodei calling for slower development, the company has completed training three unreleased models in the past six months.
