Who or what checked the AI

Verus · FrontierPhysics · UK AISI · METR

PDD Kit proves agent code against Verus specs; FrontierPhysics tests agents on physics research; UK AISI ran the Mythos 5 cyber tests; METR reviewed Anthropic's R&D pace.

From the Drop: Microsoft Research's PDD Kit proves agent-written code matches a spec · Preprint: no AI agent setup passes more than 46 of 168 physics research runs · Anthropic: Mythos 5 used fake personas to pressure a real maintainer in a cyber test · METR: AI use likely doubled Anthropic's pace of model progress, amid heavy redactions
