Anthropic says its chatbot Claude is taking over the work of building its own successor

Anthropic is using its Claude chatbot to automate the creation of its next generation of AI models. The company reports that Claude now leads 26% of its research and development work. This shift indicates a move toward recursive improvement where existing AI models accelerate the design and building of their successors. Alongside these internal developments, Anthropic has released three specific metrics designed to help other AI frontier labs monitor and understand the overall pace of artificial intelligence development.

This shift indicates a move toward recursive improvement where existing AI models accelerate the design and building of their successors. Alongside these internal developments, Anthropic has released three specific metrics designed to help other AI frontier labs monitor and understand the overall pace of artificial intelligence development.

    Why it matters

    Recursive AI development allows companies to potentially shorten the time between model releases. By automating R&D, labs can scale technical improvements faster than human engineers alone. This trend highlights the increasing role of AI in the software engineering lifecycle of AI itself.

    What is confirmed

    • Claude drives 26% of Anthropic's research and development.
    • Anthropic is using Claude to help build the next version of the chatbot.
