Work at the \"leads\" level (AL4) means Claude carries most of a task from a high-level prompt while a human supervises; more than 90% of measured R\u0026D work sits at \"collaborates\" (AL3) or higher, but none reached full autonomy (AL5).\n\nAnthropic said around 30,000 AI agents operate on its internal platform at any given time, with automated monitors blocking just 0.002% of more than a billion decisions, and 6% of AI R\u0026D compute was set aside for safety work during a sample week in July."}}
