Anthropic's AI Is Speeding Up AI
According to METR, AI is doubling the speed of AI R&D at Anthropic, potentially leading to recursive self-improvement by 2027.

š„ What happened
METR got deep access to Anthropic's internal data and found AI is already speeding up AI R&D by roughly 2x. That's months ahead of the AI-2027 timeline.
š” Why it matters
A naive extrapolation puts full recursive self-improvement less than a year away. The kicker: the acceleration only shows up when you count unreleased internal models running with ~10,000x more compute than outsiders get.
ā” Our take
Anyone still defending long timelines wasn't paying attention to the labs. And the most damning findings are redacted ā that's exactly where the real risk hides.
