Anthropic: Claude Writes 80% of Code, Outpaces Engineers on Research Decisions
Anthropic disclosed that Claude now writes over 80% of its shipped code, up from low single digits two years ago. Engineers now review AI-generated code rather than writing it, shipping eight times more code per quarter. An unreleased internal model also outperformed human researchers in choosing the best next research direction.

The 80% figure is less impressive than it sounds—every line still passes through a human reviewer—but the model's growing ability to make research decisions signals a real shift in AI autonomy.
