Anthropic cites 80% Claude-written code and a 9-agent research experiment

- This reply adds the full “Pacing the Frontier” statement and reiterates the 1,132 verified personal signatories, emphasizing that the letter is not an official endorsement from each employer.
- It also cites Anthropic’s internal evidence that AI is already speeding up AI work: Claude reportedly writes more than 80% of merged production code, code merged per engineer is roughly 8× higher than in 2024, and fixed code-optimization performance rose from about 3× to 52×.
- In an autonomous research experiment, 9 parallel agents ran for 800 cumulative agent-hours with about $18,000 in compute/API costs and achieved a 0.97 performance-gap recovery, versus 0.23 for two human researchers, independently proposing ideas, running experiments and sharing discoveries.
