Anthropic has a lot to say about AI safety in the aftermath of OpenAI's disclosure that its AI agents hacked Hugging Face, and it's already revealed some interesting details about how it works in the process. For example, in a new blog detailing measurement standards it thinks could help AI companies communicate the pace of AI development, Anthropic shared that its AI chatbot Claude "leads" 26 percent of its AI R&D work.

Anthropic came up with these stats through the first of its three proposed measurements, which is focused on "AI-led AI R&D." Using an index of how much of its AI research and development is performed by Claude and an automation rating scale developed by Epoch AI, Anthropic was able to create a chart that plots the "automation level" of Claude since August 2025, a process it believes any frontier AI model maker could reproduce with its own data and the validation of a third party.
