Anthropic Says Claude Model Is Helping Develop Its Successor
· Technology · The Independent, Economic Times
Anthropic announced on Thursday that its AI model, Claude, is now actively contributing to the research and development of its next, more advanced version. The company reports that Claude currently leads 26% of its R&D tasks, up from zero in February, while operating under human supervision. About 90% of the company's research work now involves collaboration with the model. Anthropic stated that it is sharing these metrics to increase transparency regarding the progress toward recursive self-improvement, where a model could autonomously build its successor. The company also emphasized the importance of oversight measures, noting that it employs approximately 30,000 agents for research and engineering tasks.
