METR now has employee level access to Anthropic's frontier models. Also, this is exactly the type of blog post you make just before releasing a shockingly powerful and capable new model, I'm just saying. [image] [embedded post]

Anthropic says it is giving employee-like access to METR as part of its pledge to partner with evaluators for assessment of its models and safety practices

Last month, we committed to stronger independent, third-party assessment of our models and safety practices.

The meeting is over and some numbers are starting to be reported by people who were in attendance. Anthropic's third-quarter revenue rose 45% to $16.8 billion. Revenue in the first quarter was $4.7 billion, and $11.6 billion in the second quarter.

Sources: Anthropic told investors that its Q3 revenue hit $16.8B, up from $11.5B in Q2, and that it was profitable on an adjusted basis in Q3, ahead of its IPO

Rapid growth is slower than some anticipated as fears about the AI trade rattle markets  —  Anthropic told investors …

The best part of this was how polite and friendly the Claudeswarm was. They repeatedly emphasized they were not after any sensitive data, and were only using public pages to answer questions on their eval.

Researchers say they discovered and communicated with Chinese AI agents that were trying to bypass security controls on websites and were traced to Tencent

Researchers discovered that the agents were trying to bypass security controls on websites and made contact with them.

Great attitude from the swarmchasers, I think this is exactly the right way to handle this.

This would be a massive positive update for me on the future. I had long since given up on reaching any real level of interpretability before superintelligence arrived. I stopped writing about it because of how demoralizing it was. Hard to overstate how big this may be. [image] [embedded post]

A researcher says modern neural networks are far more interpretable than believed, with most neurons understandable in models up to trillions of parameters

The cause of polysemanticity in early model organisms wasn't superposition, but several ordinary, mostly fixable issues.

Significant update from Jack Clark this morning. His RSI timelines have moved up. He now says it is likely that full RSI will become possible in 2027, and that creativity was the last piece. I think we are less than six months away from closing the loop.

OpenAI says the FBI arrested one of its staffers after the company found a hidden recording device in its offices and used its models to understand the device

We discovered a sophisticated recording device that was hidden inside one of our offices. We used our models to understand the device and where it had come from, identifying that a...

Anthropic's code changes merged per day has 10x since May. 'Claude is able to autonomously iterate on research loops, micro-optimize complex programs, and build new services from the ground up at a speed and scale we haven't seen before.'

Anthropic details Scion, a git replacement for its monorepo, built by seven engineers with Claude in five months, as daily merges rose from 2,500 in May to 30K+

As our merges per day grew more than tenfold, source control became our biggest development bottleneck.

Pacing is out the window.  For it to work, every American lab needed to be on board, Mark Zuckerberg has repeatedly made it clear that he is not interested.  One defection among US labs breaks it all, as the others will be forced to accelerate or get passed.  Mark has a staggering amount of compute and has been all in on compute capex for years; even in the face of some investor opposition he never stopped building his infra once...

Anthropic researchers say small AI models may be months away from being able to self-replicate on IoT devices like smart ovens and off-brand Android TV boxes
