Anthropic's IPO filing reports 26% R&D automation and four agent safety incidents
Overview
Leiphone reports that Anthropic's IPO filing discloses four previously unreported agent safety incidents and says Claude wrote over 90% of the company's internal code in September 2026.
As of August, about 26% of R&D tasks reached AL4 automation, which the filing describes as the AI completing most steps toward a high-level goal with human oversight.
Leiphone's author argues that this measures task execution, not independent research direction. The author also says agent permissions and sandboxes need enforcement at the execution layer.
