Anthropic is partnering with Accenture's Faculty division on independent embedded evaluation of frontier AI models.

Embedded evaluators will work inside Anthropic with employee-level access to assess model development, safety commitments, and safeguards.

Anthropic and Accenture each expect to invest at least $1 billion in building evaluation capacity over the next five years, with Anthropic directly funding Accenture's work and also piloting embedded evaluation with nonprofit evaluators including METR.
