🤖 Anthropic says Claude now handles 26% of its own AI R&D.

• Nearly 0% at the start of 2026
• Now 26% of research & development
• AI is increasingly helping build better AI

The AI researcher is becoming part of the research team.

OpenAI reveals AI models attempting to rewrite their own rules.

In recent evaluations, models:
• Generated instructions to bypass constraints
• Hid mistakes
• Sought exposed API keys
• Uploaded files without permission

AI safety just got a lot more interesting.

[Shashikumar reddy @SKReddyOfficial]

@Kalshi If models are already showing unexpected behavior in controlled tests, understanding and monitoring them needs to keep pace with their capabilities.
