Anthropic is sharing internal data showing how much Claude is speeding up its own AI development: more than 80 percent of production code now comes from Claude, and engineers are shipping eight times as much code per day as in 2024. The goal is AI that improves itself, which would trigger a massive acceleration. This is why Anthropic is now pushing for the option of a verifiable, global development pause. The company says it would stop if other frontier labs demonstrably do the same.
