A third-party METR report on Anthropic's progress toward recursive self-improvement (RSI) was heavily redacted at Anthropic's request as 'commercially sensitive.' What is public: Anthropic expects RSI very soon, and METR estimates that on well-specified tasks, progress that used to take [researchers] is now... (redacted). Both OpenAI and Anthropic openly aim at RSI — OpenAI chief scientist Jakub Pachocki called it 'the only way to remain at the frontier.' Kelsey Piper argues lawmakers cannot rely on redacted reports and should subpoena Anthropic for the full document, now.
