Anthropic Gives METR Employee-Level Access to Audit Its Model Risks

METR is an independent research organization that evaluates the capabilities and risks of advanced AI models and publishes its findings publicly.

It means METR researchers receive internal permissions comparable to Anthropic employees, allowing them to inspect practices and systems directly rather than relying on company-provided data.

The key difference is that Anthropic has given up its right to object to publication, giving METR full editorial independence over its reports.

It is not mandatory, but it offers a practical reference for organizations seeking credible internal governance, especially in government and regulated sectors.
