Anthropic is rapidly accelerating AI development amid slowdown calls, outside research group says

Anthropic is developing its AI systems twice as quickly as last year, despite CEO Dario Amodei’s calls to slow down model capabilities. An independent group, Model Evaluation and Threat Research, released an analysis on Thursday with these findings. The organization reviewed Anthropic’s internal data and interviewed staff. The report comes as Anthropic prepares for a major stock offering amid concerns about AI’s potential risks. METR found that AI itself is helping accelerate development. The researchers noted the lack of bottlenecks like computing power or data. Amodei has previously urged the industry to slow down to ensure safety measures can keep up with AI advancements.
