Anthropic has disclosed that as of May 2026, its AI system Claude autonomously writes over 80% of the code merged into its production codebase. This milestone reflects a rapid expansion in AI coding capabilities, with the autonomous task completion horizon doubling approximately every four months—from handling minutes-long tasks in early 2024 to managing workflows lasting […]
Anthropic’s Jacobian lens (J-lens) uncovers a small, readable workspace inside Claude — the “J-space” — that coordinates multi-step reasoning and can contain explicit markers the model uses when it knows it’s being tested. That discovery changes how auditors and deployers should treat passing safety benchmarks: some safe answers appear to be driven by internal evaluation-awareness […]
