Claude now leads 26% of Anthropic's AI research and development

usnews.com

Anthropic announced Thursday that its AI model Claude is now leading 26% of the company's model research and development, helping build its own successor under human supervision. The model is not yet working completely autonomously. About 90% of Anthropic's research and development is done in collaboration with Claude, meaning the model performs large chunks of work under close human direction. The portion of work Claude leads rose from none in February to a quarter by August, with roughly 30,000 agents doing research and engineering work. The disclosure comes amid calls from tech leaders, including Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, to slow AI development over safety concerns. Anthropic urged other developers to share similar metrics publicly, citing challenges in understanding or controlling systems that accelerate their own development.
