## Key points

- Anthropic’s benchmark capabilities improved 1.9 times faster.
- METR estimates AI may explain about 80 per cent of the acceleration.
- Researchers say AI cannot yet independently drive key training stages.

## Summary

An independent study by AI safety group METR found Anthropic’s benchmark capabilities have been improving nearly twice as fast since October 2025. The findings suggest AI is helping speed up the development of more capable AI models, raising questions about whether safety assessments can keep pace.

METR estimated AI may account for about 80 per cent of the acceleration, but said that figure is uncertain and found no clear evidence of major bottlenecks over the next year. Its 11-week assessment used confidential research, interviews and data from unreleased models; it also found AI cannot yet make highly significant, fully autonomous contributions to the most important stages of model training.
