Our internal data shows Claude is accelerating AI development — a possible path to recursive self-improvement, or AI autonomously building a more capable successor. It's happening faster than we thought, and the implications deserve greater attention.

Anthropic @AnthropicAI
Each time we release a model, we run the same test: give it code that trains a small AI model, ask the new model to speed it up. It takes a skilled human 4-8 hours to reach 4x faster. In May 2024, Claude Opus 4 averaged a ~3x speedup. This April, Mythos Preview achieved ~52x.

Uber reportedly now caps coding agents at $1,500/month per employee per tool - seems sensible to me, but it's also an interesting hint at the value Uber thinks these tools are providing

New Anthropic Science Blog: Making Claude a chemist. To manipulate a molecule, chemists first need to understand its structure. Their main tool is NMR spectroscopy. We found Opus 4.7 matches — and on some tasks beats — dedicated NMR software.
