Anthropic reports that its AI, Claude, now "leads" 26% of its AI R&D work, a significant increase from just 1% in March. Furthermore, Claude "collaborates" on over 90% of the company's AI R&D efforts, performing substantial portions of the work under close human supervision. This indicates a growing integration of AI in Anthropic's research and development processes.

This report quantifies Claude's increasing involvement in Anthropic's R&D, showing a jump from 1% to 26% in leading roles since March, unlike general statements about AI assistance.
