PULSE

Anthropic reports Claude leading 26% of internal AI R&D under human supervision in August 2026. Prototype, self-reported measurement; no work classified as fully autonomous.

Standard input price, excluding the temporary launch discount. Output costs $0.75 per million tokens. This is a model-specific price, not an overall frontier minimum.

Largest context window available from a frontier model

METR v1.1 estimates Mythos Preview (early) at 17.4 hours for 50% success, with an 8.5 to 55.1 hour confidence interval. Estimates above 16 hours are unreliable on this task suite.

Highest independent Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index v4.3 score

Highest independently evaluated contamination-resistant coding score

Expert-level exam designed to be the last test AI cannot pass

Transistors on the most advanced shipping processor

Peak compute used to train a single frontier model

Peak FP16 performance of the latest data center GPU

Figure reports Helix 2.5 completing 56% of trials across three household tasks in 30 unseen homes, up from 9% without Index pretraining. No adaptation in evaluation homes; this is a controlled comparison, not a time series.
