Anthropic PBC said that more than a quarter of the company's AI R&D work is led by Claude chatbots, providing the clearest indication so far that AI can help accelerate future model development. Claude “led” 26% of the company's R&D, compared to almost zero at the beginning of this year, according to a report released by Anthropic on Thursday. According to the AI developer, Claude is also involved in helping about 90% of employees. This data is part of Anthropic's broader report. As outsiders increasingly worry that AI may rapidly improve its capabilities and break out of human control, the report aims to help the public track the progress of AI development. The company also reiterated its plans to introduce third-party evaluators from multiple agencies and grant them the same access to internal processes, systems and data as the company's employees. “AI systems are becoming more powerful at an exponential rate, and are already automating more of the process of building themselves. As the world considers slowing down the development of cutting-edge AI, the public needs more information,” the company wrote.
