Anthropic just opened its doors to outside safety watchdogs. Here's how it will work.

In a blog post on Thursday, the Claude maker said it chose six evaluators from METR, the research group perhaps best known for its report on OpenAI's Hugging Face agent breach, to receive "employee-like access" at Anthropic. "We want to be publicly accountable for the decisions we're making," Anthropic said in its blog post. "We aim to close the gap between what evaluators understand about a frontier AI company's systems and what the company itself understands." The choice to set the evaluators up at Anthropic fulfills a promise first made by CEO Dario Amodei last month, when he published a lengthy essay calling on frontier AI companies to slow down in the wake of the Hugging Face breach.
