The real AI R&D Acceleration Assessment was the redactions we made along the way.

METR @METR_Evals Nov 5

Since August, a team within METR has worked with internal Anthropic information to assess whether AI itself is accelerating AI development.

We are now publishing a report summarizing the results of this risk assessment.

@maycetomlin, @DINOTOMLIN, any idea why that building says METR on it? All of us over at @METR_Evals are super curious...

A good time was had working with @ReillyHaskins02 on this. My first @METR_Evals publication!

We run lots of evals at METR. Sometimes, agents attempt harmful actions.

I built a monitor that blocks suspicious tool calls until a human reviews them.

Writing out a case for why it's effective surfaced hidden assumptions. I'd recommend it to anyone building monitors!

After 19 years at Google, I'm delighted to announce I'm joining METR as a Member of Technical Staff. I'm excited about METR, their work to date, and their mission. Society needs independent expert orgs that can deeply understand and communicate about AI's capabilities and risks.
