Anthropic shares three measures to track AI development

Anthropic says it wants to narrow the knowledge gap between frontier labs and the public. It says other frontier developers could publish the same measures, which third parties could verify. A user quoting Anthropic’s report shared findings for August 2026: Claude “leads” 26% of the company’s AI R&D work, and the share at or above “AI collaborates” is above 90%. The quoted findings say Claude was not operating fully autonomously for any measured subset of AI R&D work.
