Anthropic to Embed Outside Evaluators Like METR In-House as Amodei Urges Labs to Slow Capability Gains
shashib · x · 2026-09-13
Dario Amodei published 'We Must Pace the Frontier' on September 12, arguing safety work is falling behind capability gains and labs must slow the pace — not by stopping training runs, but by inserting delays so outsiders can check work before the next capability jump. Anthropic's concrete move: third-party teams such as METR get desks, badges, company laptops, and permissions near internal risk staff. He still sees a 5–10 year window for curing most major diseases while citing risks including loss of control, cyber attacks, bioweapons, and labor shocks.
