Anthropic's July 28 post says explicitly: "Our own research on recursive self-improvement, published last month, points to the need for tools to deliberately pace the frontier." That June report found over 80% of code merged into Anthropic's codebase was written by Claude as of May 2026, with the typical engineer's daily merge count 8x higher in Q2 2026 than in 2024 after four flat years. Using your internal productivity metrics as the evidence base for asking government to build a brake is an unusually self-implicating argument, and I think it's the most honest thing any lab has done this quarter.
