Less than a week after the METR acceleration report, Zvi publicly challenges Anthropic's claim that AI progress is accelerating "less than 2x": the report's own fitted slope-change estimate is 1.88x with a 95% CI of 1.62x–2.28x, and 32 of 100 refits reach 2x or more—undercutting the company's framing of the number.
