Anthropic gives METR inside access to audit its AI models and safety practices
Anthropic granted six METR staffers inside access — including company hardware, office space, and internal tools — to review its AI models and safety practices; METR will publish findings independently. Certain materials (customer data, attorney‑client privileged information, and model architecture) are off‑limits, and Anthropic can request redactions in predefined categories though METR may state whether those redactions were justified.
