Anthropic Says Claude Now Leads a Quarter of Work Building Its Next AI Models
Anthropic said Claude now leads 26% of its AI research and development work as it publishes new measures on agent oversight and safety screening.
On Thursday, Anthropic released new transparency data showing Claude 'leads' 26 per cent of the company's artificial intelligence research and development work, part of regular measures to communicate AI development pace.
AI collaborated with humans on more than 90 per cent of research as of August, with Claude's contribution rising rapidly from 1 per cent in March on an automation scale developed by independent nonprofit Epoch.
Anthropic reported about 30,000 agents performed research simultaneously in August, with every action screened; approximately one in 47,000 decisions was blocked, while 12 per cent of AI-led research compute went to safety work.
On Wednesday, rival OpenAI disclosed six reports of unexpected or concerning model behavior while committing to regularly publish transparency reports, aligning with industry efforts to address AI development risks.
CEO Dario Amodei's focus on AI safety has drawn engagement from Elon Musk, though regulation remains uncertain as President Donald Trump has largely downplayed the risks of AI development.
