TansuYegen · x · 2026-09-18
Citing Anthropic figures, TansuYegen argues the number to watch is 26%: Claude is already leading more than a quarter of Anthropic's own AI R&D work — not autonomously yet, but the direction is clear.
His take: once AI meaningfully accelerates the creation of better AI, progress stops being linear — a signal more telling than another benchmark score.
