Anthropic grants METR employee-level access to evaluate model risks
Anthropic announced it has begun providing a team at the nonprofit organization METR with near-employee internal access to evaluate the risks of its frontier models, and METR will publicly release the evaluation results. Anthropic stated it cannot veto METR's release but may request that information in predefined categories be redacted, and said Anthropic ultimately determines which information falls into these categories.
Why it matters: The original text discloses the specific division of the three-tier evaluation access and the boundaries of METR's publication rights, which can be used to compare with third-party evaluation arrangements at other frontier labs.
