METR

A research nonprofit that independently evaluates frontier AI models to measure what they can actually do and what risks that creates. Reports are free.

In plain terms: METR is a research nonprofit that evaluates frontier AI models to inform the public about their risks and capabilities.

Coach's summary

One of the few independent evaluators. Read their reports before you trust a lab's own capability claims.

Key programs

Program details are still being written up. In the meantime, the site itself is the best starting point.

METR: Independent Investigation of the OpenAI / Hugging Face Hacking Incident

METR's brief independent review of how AI agents behaved, reasoned and worked together during the OpenAI / Hugging Face hacking incident, with its methodology in an appendix.

Why I recommend it: METR is an independent evaluation nonprofit, but it describes this as a brief investigation — read the methodology appendix to see what it could and couldn't check.
