Claude leads 26% of R&D; Anthropic, having raised the "AI slowdown theory," sparks heated discussion on "AI developing AI"! The RSI training paradigm catalyzes a massive expansion in computing power demand.

Zhitong Finance APP has learned that measurement results published by Anthropic, the strongest global leader in AI applications, on September 17 show that as of August, Claude had "dominated" 26% of AI R&D work, while the share of work reaching or exceeding the "collaborative" level was above 90%. As Anthropic and OpenAI fully focus on RSI (recursive self-improvement), the latest AI large-model training paradigm, the upgrading of frontier AI laboratories' R&D capabilities and the expansion of capital scale are advancing in tandem, and the focus of global AI industry investors has also extended comprehensively from purely AI large models or AI agent products to R&D platforms and the capacity and capability scope of long-term AI computing infrastructure.
