Anthropic announces research on Automated Alignment Researcher (AAR) using Claude Opus 4.6. The AAR closed 97% of the performance gap on a weak-to-strong supervision alignment problem, compared to 23% by human researchers over 7 days.

Source details
New Anthropic Fellows research: developing an Automated Alignment Researcher. We ran an experiment to learn whether Claude Opus 4.6 could accelerate research on a key alignment problem: using a weak AI model to supervise the training of a stronger one. t.co/OAxCjOiWTm

Anthropic's AAR (Opus 4.6 with tools) closed 97% of the performance gap between weak and strong models, vs 23% by human researchers, on a weak-to-strong supervision task.

Source details
Here, we measure success by the fraction of the “performance gap” we can close between the weak model and the potential of the strong model. After 7 days, human researchers closed it by 23%. Then, our Automated Alignment Researchers—Opus 4.6 with extra tools—closed it by 97%. t.co/w1xy4l0MSn
