mtizard · x · 2026-09-25
Anthropic published new transparency metrics tracking how much AI is used to build AI. Key numbers: AI agents now handle 26% of internal research (under 1% six months ago), 30,000 autonomous agents run concurrently, over a billion decisions reviewed last month, and only 50 weekly transcripts escalated to humans. Anthropic says the data shows how close the world is to recursive self-improvement and urges all frontier labs to publish comparable measures.
