  "summary": "Anthropic's AI model, Claude, now leads 26% of the company's AI research and development work, up from 1% in March. According to The Business Times - Companies & Markets, this represents a rapid rise in Claude's contribution to the technology's development.\n\nThe AI model also collaborates with humans on more than 90% of research work at Anthropic as of August. Investing.com reports that Anthropic emphasized Claude is not operating fully autonomously in any part of the work measured.\n\nThe company is publishing these measures regularly to show how quickly AI is building the next generation of technology. This comes amid growing concern that AI could soon develop with little input from humans and potentially diverge from its creators' intentions.",
