METR: capability acceleration not driven by faster training compute growth
METR_Evals · x · 2026-11-06
METR's full analysis estimated how much of the capability acceleration came from compute, data, and algorithmic progress. Its conclusion: it is confident the acceleration was not due to an increase in the growth rate of training compute — implying other factors like algorithmic progress or AI automation are responsible.
