Anthropic's Claude AI is officially building its own successors, triggering an explosive flywheel effect where AI models advance rapidly without needing any human direction!A staggering 80% of Anthropic's production code is now fully written by Claude, boosting engineer output to a mind-blowing 8x higher than recent baselines.The new "Claude Mythos Preview" achieved a jaw-dropping 52x speedup in optimizing AI training code, completely crushing the 4x improvement managed by skilled human engineers.Operating with unprecedented independence, Claude-powered agents executed an entire AI safety research project and bridged a massive 97% of the performance gap on an ultra-complex problem.
