Anthropic says Claude now leads 26% of its AI research work.

Anthropic said Claude now “leads” 26% of the company’s AI research and development work, up from 1% in March on a scale created by the independent nonprofit Epoch AI. The company also said AI collaborated with humans on more than 90% of its research work in August.

Anthropic emphasized that Claude is not operating fully autonomously in any measured area. It reported roughly 30,000 agents active on its internal research platform at a time in August, with actions screened before execution and about one in 47,000 decisions blocked.
