Anthropic announced it is embedding METR, a non-profit AI safety evaluator, with employee-like access to its systems and offices to independently monitor AI risks. The Financial Times reported that CEO Dario Amodei has positioned external evaluators as a key safety proposal. ITmedia noted that METR gains direct system access, office facilities, and the right to publish findings independently—though Anthropic can request redactions. OpenAI is reportedly preparing similar arrangements with external evaluators.

Where they diverge

All sources agree on the core fact: METR receives embedded, employee-equivalent access. ITmedia adds detail on publication rights (Anthropic cannot veto disclosure, only request redactions) and mentions OpenAI's parallel efforts; the Financial Times frames this as part of Amodei's broader safety strategy. No substantive disagreement on facts.
