One signal

Anthropic is developing its AI systems around twice as quickly as it was a year ago, according to an analysis by an independent monitoring group cited by the Associated Press. The report says that finding comes amid CEO Dario Amodei’s calls to slow the technology’s improvement.

That contrast is the useful signal: the pace of development may be accelerating even as the company’s chief executive warns about it. The evidence supplied here does not identify the monitoring group or explain how it measured the change, so the figure needs more detail before it can carry much weight.

Discuss: If AI development is accelerating this quickly, should a company’s public calls for caution change how it builds its systems?
