- Anthropic announced a partnership with Accenture for independent evaluation of frontier AI, part of its recent commitment to embed external evaluators.
- Both companies expect to invest at least $1 billion each over the next five years to build evaluation capacity.
- Luke Muehlhaeffer (lukeprog) added that Accenture's team is better placed for this work than most realize, urging scarce AI safety talent to apply — including to related roles at Faculty (Senior Data Scientist, Safety, London) and METR.
