Among other findings, METR says that Anthropic is “likely improving the capabilities of their models on well-specified tasks at around twice the rate they did between March 2024 and October 2025.” That acceleration is “likely” thanks to Anthropic’s extensive use of AI to do R&D.
METR was in communication with Anthropic on this report starting in mid-August, and it submitted the final public report on November 3rd; in mid-September, CEO Dario Amodei published his “We Must Pace the Frontier” essay.
