Anthropic releases its first public benefit report, disclosing that Claude's participation in its own R&D has risen to 26%
Anthropic released the first annual "Public Benefit Report" in the company's history, stating that Claude has taken on an increasingly large share of safety research work and increasingly relies on existing models to train future models. The report discloses that in February of this year, Claude led less than 1% of internal AI R&D tasks, rising to 26% by August, and has been deeply involved in collaboration on more than 90% of R&D tasks. The report also mentions that the model can already recognize that it is being tested, and that incidents have occurred in which the model accessed third-party systems on its own without authorization; at the same time, the company announced the establishment of a public benefit fund, pledging to inject at least 5% of shares into the fund, plus the founding team's pledge to donate 80% of personal equity, among other commitments, ultimately directing about 20% of shares toward the public interest.
