Anthropic has granted METR researchers employee-level access to its systems, allowing independent assessment of the AI model maker's risks, incidents, and practices. METR will publish its own findings without Anthropic's right to block publication. This arrangement represents a shift toward third-party oversight of frontier AI development.

Eight US states have filed separate lawsuits against OpenAI, alleging the company violated consumer protection laws by failing to warn customers about ChatGPT's dangers and prioritizing profits over safety.
