Summary

Anthropic argues that AI is already taking on a growing share of AI development work inside the company. The piece says Claude now writes most merged code, speeds up engineering output, and helps run experiments and debugging tasks. It also warns that improving AI research and coding abilities could eventually lead to recursive self-improvement, where models build their own successors. The article frames this as both a productivity breakthrough and a major safety and governance risk for the broader AI industry.
