Anthropic’s New Model 4 Beats Opus 5.5 (ASI in 2 Years)

Anthropic’s unreleased Model 4 beats Opus 5.5 on its internal capability index, fueling predictions about how soon ASI could arrive. METR finds benchmark progress accelerating nearly 2X, while staff report roughly 12X productivity gains. Claude increasingly helps researchers build its successors, but Anthropic redacts much of the strongest evidence. We examine the hidden models, the self-improvement claims, and what this actually means for superintelligence. 📩 Brand Deals & Partnerships: collabs@nouralabs.com ✉️ General Inquiries: airevolutionofficial@gmail.com 🔍 What You'll See Anthropic’s secret Model 4 beats Opus 5.5 on its internal capability index, fueling new ASI predictions.

SOURCE: https://metr.org/blog/2026-11-05-anthropic-ai-rd-acceleration-assessment/ 🚨 Why It Matters AI helping build better AI could shorten development timelines and leave less time for safety testing. Anthropic’s internal models suggest public releases reveal only part of that progress. Full autonomous self-improvement remains unproven, and ASI predictions remain speculative, but METR sees a significant risk of further acceleration. #AI #Anthropic #Claude
