Anthropic Index Classifies 26% of August AI R&D Work as Claude-Led

Anthropic’s August index classified 26% of its measured artificial intelligence research and development work as led by Claude, while no measured work category was fully autonomous. The index’s “AI leads” category covers tasks where AI completes most of the work from a high-level prompt while a person supervises. Claude was in that category for less than 1% of measured work in February. More than 90% of the August work fell into categories involving AI collaboration or greater automation. Anthropic based its July measurement on weekly samples covering 20% of staff in model research and development departments. Claude agents reviewed internal work records and identified about 15,000 tasks. The tasks were organized into a tree with 542 nodes. A model then rated the tasks’ automation levels.
