Anthropic's model improvement rate has doubled, with internal AI agents and systems accounting for roughly 80% of that speedup. The shift is concrete: external data and human feedback are no longer the primary drivers of capability gains. AI labs are now bootstrapping their own progress, feeding their systems back into the research and development process itself, compressing iteration cycles and reducing dependence on traditional scaling. If this pattern holds across the industry, the advantage accrues to labs with the most sophisticated internal deployment infrastructure and the capital to run expensive feedback loops at scale.
