As the world considers slowing the pace of frontier AI development, the public needs more information. In this post, we lay out measurement tools that can illuminate three critical aspects of AI development: We also provide a snapshot of these metrics from inside Anthropic. It’s important to note that we would expect these numbers to shift if there were coordination on pacing the frontier, as called for by Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei.
