Anthropic Grants METR Team Deep Access for AI Risk Assessment

Anthropic is granting a team from METR, a nonprofit focused on assessing frontier AI models, employee-like access to evaluate its cutting-edge AI systems, enabling the METR team to publish a thorough risk evaluation. The arrangement gives the evaluators access comparable to Anthropic employees, a level of access the report describes as unprecedented for an outside safety organization assessing a frontier lab's models.
