Anthropic publishes 3 metrics to track AI development pace

cnbc.com

Anthropic published three new metrics on Thursday to help AI companies monitor development pace, days after CEO Dario Amodei called for a coordinated industry slowdown. The company shared methodologies for measuring AI-led research, agent oversight, and compute allocation. The metrics include findings that Claude models are not fully autonomous in research work, about 30,000 AI agents operate on its internal platform, and roughly 6% of compute for AI research went to safety. Anthropic aims to reduce the gap between what labs and the public know. The move follows Amodei's three-step slowdown plan, which drew support from OpenAI's Sam Altman, Elon Musk, and Demis Hassabis. Anthropic said third parties could use these measurements as a starting point to assess AI development pace.
