The Edition No. 34
METR published an independent assessment concluding that Anthropic is likely improving model capabilities on well-specified tasks at about twice the rate seen between March 2024 and October 2025, with most of the current acceleration attributed to AI-assisted R&D rather than faster training-compute scaling, AP News and The Verge reported. The U.S. Department of Justice separately launched a Super Intelligence Task Force to coordinate criminal and civil enforcement on AI misuse. Anthropic also began rolling out Personal Finance in Claude as a U.S. beta for Pro, Max and Ultra users, connecting bank accounts read-only via Plaid.
