You should not miss this news: An independent METR assessment found that the pace of progress in Anthropic\u2019s models has become nearly twice as fast as its previous rate since October 2025.<\/p>\n

What makes this especially significant is that the use of AI within research and development teams may be one of the main drivers of this acceleration. In other words, today\u2019s models are helping researchers build more advanced models.<\/p>\n

This does not prove that AI is independently improving itself. The report mainly describes assistance provided to human researchers, while some evidence was redacted and the conclusions remain subject to substantial uncertainty.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
