Anthropic released research on whether Claude can autonomously align other AIs. Given 48 hours and 1 GPU, Claude researched, proposed, trained, and tested alignment methods for smaller models autonomously. The AI-discovered methods outperformed one-shot ideas from 28 experienced researchers. The study involved five parallel agents using hidden tests and capability gates to screen out overfitting and regressions, showcasing progress in recursive self-improvement.
