Donations fund the assessment of AI capabilities, risks and mitigations. This primarily means developing cutting-edge methods for measuring these things, as well as running those measurements and directly supporting AI decision-makers who want to improve their risk management.
- Highlighted work: The length of tasks AI agents can complete has doubled very approximately every 7 months for 6 years (paper, overview, X thread). This research is now central to forecasts of when AI will have very large impacts on the world. The paper’s findings were also covered in the Financial Times, Nature, and elsewhere.

METR’s work is funded entirely by donations like yours. This has been crucial for our ability to pursue groundbreaking projects and set standards for evidence-based understanding of risks from AI. Being independently funded is also part of how we ensure that our research is as accurate as possible.1
