METR Report: Anthropic Is Using AI to Build Better AI, and It Is Working
A new METR report says Anthropic's models are improving roughly twice as quickly as a year ago. The company is using AI to help build more powerful AI, and there is little sign of a slowdown.
Anthropic is using AI to build more powerful AI. According to a new report from the AI safety research group METR, it appears to be working remarkably well.
The report was published Thursday after an 11-week investigation. It found that the company's models are improving roughly twice as quickly as they were a year ago. There is little indication that the pace is slowing down.
Why it matters: If AI speeds up its own development, the pace of model upgrades you plan around may keep rising.
The findings are alarming some researchers, according to The Verge's coverage. The concern is about what happens when AI development becomes increasingly automated.
What builders should know
- Model improvement at one major lab is reported to be about twice as fast as a year ago.
- Plan for faster release cycles when choosing tools and vendors.
- Safety researchers are watching AI-driven AI development closely.
