Anthropic taps Accenture for AI safety evaluations ahead of November IPO
The AI lab's first outside model evaluator is a consulting giant, not a safety nonprofit, as it races toward a public listing worth over $100B in revenue.

What to know
- Anthropic's embedded-evaluator plan, floated by CEO Dario Amodei, debuts with Accenture's Faculty unit — not the AI-safety nonprofits (METR, Redwood, Apollo) most watchers expected.
- The company is on track for a November IPO and a $100B+ annualized revenue pace, even as Amodei has separately called for slowing development of some advanced models.
- Anthropic also disclosed Claude now 'leads' 26% of its own R&D work, up from 1% in March, a metric critics call unverified marketing ahead of the listing.
- Reuters reports Anthropic is weighing a new model launch timed to the IPO, feeding online skepticism about whether growth claims are being timed for the offering.

Anthropic's self-reported growth and R&D-automation metrics are unsubstantiated hype timed to the IPO.

Anthropic names Accenture its first embedded model evaluator
Anthropic said Faculty, the AI division Accenture acquired in January, will begin evaluating and red-teaming its models and staff inside the company, with both firms expecting to invest at least $1 billion over five years; Accenture shares rose 8% after hours and Anthropic said it is also talking to nonprofits like METR about piloting embedded evaluation.
“do not reduce our accountability, but help to make it more verifiable. The safety of our models remains our responsibility.”

Comparing Fable to the models I was using a year ago... there's no comparison. Fable is at least 5x better. A year ago they just wrote the fix, mostly guessing based off what you said, declaring it fixed without validation. Models now set up a testing environment and telemetry, duplicate the bug, check the logs, find the problem and fix it, repeat…

Anthropic’s big AI safety move being to partner with Accenture as its “independent” evaluator to monitor that their AI agents don’t go rogue is actually hilarious. I feel like the victim of a guerrilla marketing campaign. https://www. anthropic.com/news/accenture-e mbedded-evaluation

Anthropic says Claude now leads 26% of its own R&D
Anthropic disclosed that Claude now autonomously leads about 26% of the work building its successor models, up from roughly 1% in March, with about 90% of R&D work now AI-assisted, and said it will publish the metric regularly.
“This is just another sales pitch where Anthropic markets cognitive surrender.”

Anthropic plans to publish regular report on how much R&D work Claude “leads” meaning a human gives a high level prompt and Claude does the work. It is now at 26% from 1% in March. Overall 90% of R&D work is AI assisted. This is just another sales pitch where Anthropic markets cognitive surrender.

What does this mean? The whole point here is that a US slowdown does nothing to change the extinction calculus, it just puts the button in the hands of geopolitical rivals . In this case it happens to be the same geopolitical rival who fucked up and caused COVID a few years ago.

It could be argued that the moral imperative would be to continue if not accelerate innovation, in order to maintain technological advantage over geopolitical rivals. That IS the moral imperative, and enacting regulation/a slowdown within the US does nothing to change it. The Chinese have already said they will not participate in any slowdown, and…

Ramp shows the revenue trends. Anthropic still leads paid business adoption at 43.8% versus OpenAI at 39.8%, but both have hit a recent growth slowdown.

The problem with this is that it leads to a chilling effect in several areas.
