    Anthropic's internal report shows that its AI capabilities advanced approximately twice as much between October 2025 and October 2026 as in the previous year, mainly attributed to the acceleration of AI automation in R&D. The report indicates that to maintain the current doubling rate of AI capability improvement, researchers would need about a 10-fold increase in labor efficiency, which aligns with the internal model's 12-fold efficiency improvement reported by Anthropic employees. This accelerated trend may shorten the timeline for AI development to an earlier stage than most external researchers predicted.
