Anthropic has publicly disclosed that its models already author the majority of the company's own code and can autonomously discover security vulnerabilities across every major computer system in the world.

Anthropic Says AI Now Writes Its Own Code as ChatGPT Ships a Scheduled Tasks Hub

Anthropic disclosed that its AI already writes most of its own code and can autonomously identify security holes across every major computer system in the world, raising open governance questions the company has not answered. OpenAI quietly gave ChatGPT a dedicated page to create, view, and manage automated tasks that run on a schedule, replacing the prior Pulse feature. The two disclosures land in the same week and point at the same horizon.
