Very interesting article from Anthropic about how, thanks to AI, they're able to streamline their process of researching and training better AI. Or as it's colloquially known: closing the loop

AI Research: Claude’s Improved Decision-Making Outperforms Humans
By
–
AI research is a series of next-step decisions. We looked at sessions where a human researcher took a wrong turn, showed Claude the session up to that point, and asked it what to do next. Mythos Preview improved on humans 64% of the time—up from 22% in 2024.

AI Self-Improvement Plausible if Trends Continue, But Research Judgment Lacks
By
–
None of this guarantees recursive self-improvement is on the horizon. It’s not yet clear that Claude is capable of research judgment—of choosing the right problems to work on. But if these trends continue, AI systems designing and building their own successors is plausible. This

Anthropic’s AI models show massive speedup in code training tasks
By
–
Each time we release a model, we run the same test: give it code that trains a small AI model, ask the new model to speed it up. It takes a skilled human 4-8 hours to reach 4x faster. In May 2024, Claude Opus 4 averaged a ~3x speedup. This April, Mythos Preview achieved ~52x.

Claude’s coding success jumps 50 points, rivaling human quality
By
–
The speedup isn’t just in volume. On open-ended coding problems where answers are unclear, Claude’s success rate is now 76%—a 50 point jump in just 6 months. Many engineers also say Claude’s code quality is now on par with human code; we expect it to be better within the year.

Claude Accelerating AI Development: Recursive Self-Improvement Faster Than Expected
By
–
Our internal data shows Claude is accelerating AI development—a possible path to recursive self-improvement, or AI autonomously building a more capable successor. It’s happening faster than we thought, and the implications deserve greater attention.

We’re building ChatGPT to remember what matters, follow your preferences and constraints, and adapt as things change. If you tell ChatGPT you’re planning a trip in July, memory should understand when the trip is upcoming, happening, and already over. That helps ChatGPT keep

Flows Agent lets you iterate and modify the pipeline dynamically
By
–
Flows Agent lets you iterate through conversation. Tell it to try a warmer voice, swap the background, or generate a version in Spanish. The agent modifies the pipeline and re-runs without rebuilding from scratch.
