METR

We inform the public about the risks and capabilities of advanced AI systems.
We have previously partnered with OpenAI, Anthropic, Google DeepMind, Meta and Amazon to pilot frontier risk assessments. For our current principles for these engagements, see our approach to working with AI companies. These companies have also provided access and tokens, which we use for evaluations, research, and engineering.
We are also part of the NIST AI Safety Institute Consortium and California Cybersecurity Task Force, are partnering with the AI Security Institute, and provide technical assistance to the European AI Office.
