Abstract

Anthropic发布题为《当AI自我构建时》的长文,探讨AI“递归自我改进”的潜在可能。文章指出,Claude已深度参与自身研发:截至2026年5月,公司代码库80%以上的代码由Claude编写;在开放式复杂工程任务中,Claude成功率半年内提升50个百分点;它还能进行代码审查、优化训练代码(实现52倍加速),并在某些研究任务中表现优于人类研究员。 Anthropic展示了AI在研发中的参与度演进:从人类主导,到AI辅助,再到AI智能体自主编码与协作。公司警告,若AI进入“闭合回路”实现自我持续改进,将带来重大风险,因此呼吁社会考虑建立前沿AI开发的减速或暂停机制,以协调技术进步与安全对齐。 然而,文章发布时间点恰逢Anthropic筹备IPO,其论述也被视为一种市场叙事:强调Claude不仅是产品,更是驱动公司研发飞轮的核心工具,通过加速自身迭代(模型更新周期已缩短至42天)来构建竞争壁垒。此前OpenAI也在政策文件中提及AI自我改进的早期迹象,但Anthropic通过具体数据突出了自身在该路径上的领先地位,既警示风险,也展示了技术实力。

文 | 字母AI

Anthropic昨晚发布了一篇长文,标题为《When AI builds itself》(当AI自我构建时),听起来像是阿西莫夫的某本科幻小说,主题也确实是一个很科幻的概念:recursive self-improvement(递归自我改进)。

简单说,过去是人类研究员写代码、跑实验、训练模型,然后把AI做得更强。可如果AI自己开始参与设计、训练、测试、优化自己的后继版本,那么AI进步的速度就不再只是由人类推动,可能开始由AI“自我进化”。

为此,Anthropic发出呼吁:

“我们认为,如果世界能够选择放缓或暂时中止前沿AI的开发,让社会结构和对齐研究跟上技术进步,这对世界大有裨益。”

这句话听起来像安全警告,但放在Anthropic准备IPO的时间点上,它也很难不被看作另一种叙事预演:Claude实在太好用了,甚至开始自己创造下一代Claude了。

新的风暴已经出现

为了说明AI正在越来越多地参与AI研发本身。Anthropic拿出了大量内部数据。

比如,截至2026年5月,Anthropic合并进代码库的代码中,超过80%由Claude编写。而在Claude Code发布之前,这个数字还仅是个位数。

到2026年第二季度,按Anthropic的统计,工程师每天合并的代码量已经比2024年高出约8倍。

比代码量更值得注意的是,Claude正在处理更开放的工程问题。

Anthropic在文中说,过去一年里,员工纠正Claude、把Claude拉回正轨,或者中途接手任务的频率一直在下降。这个变化不只发生在简单任务上,也发生在最复杂的开放任务上。

所谓开放任务,就是没有明确说明书的问题。比如系统崩了、训练任务挂了,工程师自己一开始也不知道答案长什么样,只能一边排查一边判断。

这类任务过去最依赖人的经验,而在那些最开放的任务里,Claude的成功率到2026年5月已经达到76%,六个月内提高了50个百分点。

不只是写代码,Anthropic还用Claude做代码审查,检查bug、安全漏洞和其他缺陷,他们回溯分析发现,如果过去每次代码变更都经过Claude自动审查,大约三分之一导致claude.ai线上事故的bug,本可以在上线前被拦下来。

更进一步,Claude已经开始参与研究流程。

Anthropic有一个固定测试:给Claude一段训练小模型的代码,让它在不改错结果的前提下,想办法把代码跑得更快。2025年5月,Claude Opus 4大概能跑出3倍加速;到了2026年4月,Claude Mythos Preview已经把这个数字推到了约52倍。

Anthropic还提到一个开放式AI安全研究案例。他们把一个问题交给Claude驱动的智能体:一个较弱模型能不能可靠监督一个更强模型?

这个过程需要提出假设、测试假设、和并行智能体共享发现、反复迭代。

两位人类研究员花了一周时间,弥合了大约23%的差距;而Claude在累计约800小时、约1.8万美元算力消耗下,弥合了97%。

这项结果当然有局限,问题是人类选的,评分标准也是人类定的,结果也没有完全迁移到生产规模模型上。但它仍然说明,Claude已经可以在一个人类设定好方向的研究框架里,自己设计实验、自己执行、自己迭代。

另外,在人类研究员“走错路”的时候,Claude还能给出更好的下一步判断。

Anthropic找了129个内部Claude Code研究会话,这些会话里,人类研究员和Claude一起解决开放式研究问题。Anthropic挑出其中一些“人类后来证明绕了弯路”的节点,然后把这个节点之前的上下文给不同版本的Claude,看它会建议下一步怎么做。再由另一个知道完整会话结局的Claude judge来判断:模型建议和人类当时的选择,哪个更好。

结果表明,在那些人类研究员已经被事后证明有改进空间的节点上,Claude越来越能提出更好的下一步。

过去,AI模型的进步主要靠人类研究员和工程师推动。人类决定做什么实验、写代码,训练模型、推动AI的功能迭代。

现在,这条链条里越来越多的环节,开始被Claude接走。

Anthropic给出了一个很直观的阶段表:

2021到2023年,Anthropic和普通科技公司没什么区别,都是人类在笔记本电脑上写代码、写文档。

2023到2025年,聊天机器人开始进入工作流。工程师让模型生成代码片段,再复制到编辑器里。

2025到2026年,编程智能体出现,Claude开始能自主编写和修改代码,有时甚至能独立完成整个文件。

到了今天,智能体已经可以自己运行代码,还能把长达数小时的工作委派给其他智能体。

再往后,就是Anthropic真正担心的那个阶段:闭合回路

如果这一天到来,Claude的后续版本,就可能由Claude自身持续改进——这就是recursive self-improvement,递归自我改进。

Anthropic在文中说得很谨慎:我们还没有走到那一步,递归自我改进也不是必然发生。但它依然在强调,通往那一步的路径,已经开始变得可见。

所以Anthropic才会在文章最后谈到减速,甚至暂停。它的意思不是现在所有AI公司立刻停工,而是说,如果未来AI自我改进风险继续上升,前沿实验室需要一套协调、可验证的减速机制。

换句话讲,“奇点”就要到了,人类必须加以控制。

势不可挡的Claude

如果只看表面,这是一篇非常具有前瞻意识的安全文档。Anthropic在讲递归自我改进,讲AI可能越来越快地改进自己,讲人类社会需要提前准备减速和暂停机制。

但放在Anthropic准备IPO的时间点上,这篇文章就有了另一层意思。

某种意义上,A厂最近的动态很像班上那种欠儿欠儿的优等生——它确实有能耐,但也确实很装。

它想说的不只是“我们有一个很强的Claude”,比这更前一步,它想说“Claude正在帮助我们制造更强的Claude”。

如果Anthropic只是卖一个模型或者卖一个工具,它就很难彻底摆脱横向比较:Anthropic有Claude,OpenAI有GPT;Anthropic有Claude Code,OpenAI有Codex;Anthropic抢企业客户,OpenAI也抢企业客户。两家公司的竞争非常胶着,就看谁能向市场讲出更大的故事。

需要注意的是,就在3天前,OpenAI前脚在一份关于前沿AI治理的文件里写道:

“我们也在今天的系统中看到了递归自我改进的早期迹象:AI的发展本身正在被AI加速。

这将加剧开发者和国家之间的竞争压力,并带来现有机构无法应对的治理挑战。”

3天后,Anthropic后脚就说:Claude通往递归自我改进的路径,已经开始变得可见。

要是Claude真如它所期待的那样发展,就不是普通产品叙事了,它会变成一个研发飞轮。

Claude写代码、跑实验、优化训练流程,再反过来减少Anthropic自己产品里的事故……一旦这套系统跑起来,Claude就不只是Anthropic的一个产品,也是Anthropic的重要生产工具。

用户看到的是Claude这个产品,企业客户买的是Claude的能力,但Anthropic真正想让资本市场注意的是:Claude已经嵌入了前沿模型研发的底层流程,它被放到了Anthropic的发动机舱里。

资本市场最喜欢听飞轮的故事,像聚宝盆一样财源滚滚:更强的Claude让Anthropic的工程师能合并更多代码,更多代码让产品和基础设施迭代更快,更快的迭代让研究员能跑更多实验,更多实验又反过来帮助下一代Claude变强。下一代Claude变强后,再继续加速Anthropic的研发。

Claude的迭代速度也在支撑这个飞轮。从公开发布时间看,2023年到2025年初,Claude的主要模型更新大多是三四个月一轮,但在进入Claude 4之后,Anthropic的模型更新明显变密。

Claude 4在2025年5月发布,Opus 4.1在8月发布,Sonnet 4.5在9月发布,Haiku 4.5在10月发布,Opus 4.5在11月发布。

到了2026年,Opus 4.6在2月5日发布,Sonnet 4.6在2月17日发布,Opus 4.7在4月15日发布,Opus 4.8在5月28日发布。Opus 4.7到Opus 4.8,只隔了42天。

Anthropic表面上是在说“这件事可能很危险,我们要提前准备刹车”,但它同时也在暗示:“我们已经看见油门踩下去之后会发生什么。”

IPO叙事的微妙之处就在于此。它一边把风险讲得很重,一边也把自己的技术位置抬得很高。

不是所有AI公司都有资格讨论递归自我改进,你得先让外界相信,你的AI已经进入了AI研发流程,才有资格说这件事可能需要全球协调。

OpenAI:怎么可以这样?

前面提到,就在Anthropic发这篇长文之前,OpenAI刚刚把递归自我改进摆上了桌。

但两家公司的讲法很不一样。

OpenAI那篇《Democratic Governance of Frontier AI》,是一份写给华盛顿的政策蓝图,它关心的不是“模型怎么变强”,而是当前沿AI继续往前冲,该如何加以约束。

那篇报告里面提到的大多内容不太适合加以赘述,唯独一句话关键:OpenAI说,今天的系统中,已经可以看到递归自我改进的早期迹象。

这句话和Anthropic这篇长文,其实指向同一个方向。

只不过OpenAI在讲制度,Anthropic在讲自己。

OpenAI的意思是:AI发展太快,现有治理结构可能跟不上,所以需要一套新的规则。

而Anthropic直接把那个系统亮了出来,告诉市场:Claude已经进入了我们的研发流程,所以我们看见了AI自我加速的路径。

这一手玩得很高明,感觉OpenAI内部指不定已经开始蛐蛐了——这简直是剽窃创意!明明是我们先来的!

开个玩笑,不过OpenAI确实需要加把劲了,快点把GPT 5.6抬上来吧。

Uncovering the Truth About Agent Commerce, Payments, and Infrastructure

Decoding Agent Commerce, Payments, and Infrastructure: The Reality Over the past year, I've been building infrastructure for the Agent economy, engaging with major players like Stripe, Visa, Coinbase, Google, and dozens of startups. A clear conclusion emerges: true, large-scale demand does not yet exist. Startups face structural challenges. Data points illustrate this gap. Stripe's Agent commerce platform has over 1,000 merchants but only single-digit transacting agents. Visa's Agent payment token requires 9-month KYC and a $250M revenue threshold, accessible only to giants like Amazon. On-chain analysis reveals actual daily Agent transaction volume is around $17k, half of which are test transactions. The article analyzes four potential markets: **1. Agent-to-Merchant (A2M):** Current AI shopping UX is often inferior to traditional e-commerce for visual, comparison-heavy purchases (clothing, electronics). Chat interfaces are a step back. Real merchant interest is defensive "Agent Engine Optimization," fearing future obsolescence, not current demand. Potential exists in high-frequency, low-decision purchases (e.g., food delivery) or simplifying terrible UX (complex checkouts, non-native shoppers), but these require massive consumer distribution channels dominated by giants like DoorDash and Amazon. **2. Agent-to-API (A2A):** Developers already have subscriptions and billing for core APIs (compute, data). The argument for micro-payments via crypto for sub-dollar API calls is addressed by pre-paid balances today. The deeper issue is supplier resistance; major SaaS firms rely on enterprise contracts, not fractional cent pricing. Opportunity lies in the long tail of niche services, but this is a smaller market catering to developers, a historically low-paying group. **3. Agent-to-Agent (A2A):** This remains a theoretical long-term vision with near-zero current transaction volume. It involves unique challenges: discovery, trust, negotiation, dispute resolution. When it materializes, it will require a fundamentally new settlement infrastructure for high-speed, variable-value, multi-party transactions. It's a real long-term bet, but not the current market. **4. Agent-to-Finance (A2F):** This is the only category with existing, paying demand. Integrating AI into financial workflows (trading, portfolio management) is a natural evolution and enables new capabilities like autonomous rebalancing. However, competition favors incumbents with regulatory licenses, compliance infrastructure, and existing client relationships. **The Real Issue:** Why is infrastructure still being built? Incumbents can afford long-term bets, and payment companies see every problem as a nail for their payment hammer. However, payment is just one piece. The core challenge is *coordination*—orchestrating work between Agents and humans, verifying outcomes, and settling results. Payment is part of settlement, which is part of coordination. Companies that solve the coordination problem will subsume payments, not the other way around. Startups lack the infinite runway of giants and must find today's real market, which, after a year of exploration, lies outside these four categories—in an area with real, growing, and underserved activity.

Kalshi, MTS, and a16z's Ambition

The article "Kalshi, MTS, and a16z's Ambition" explores prediction markets as a focal point of excitement in 2025 for investors, crypto enthusiasts, and media. It traces their intellectual lineage from Friedrich Hayek's ideas on dispersed knowledge and market coordination to Robin Hanson's Logarithmic Market Scoring Rule (LMSR), which incentivizes truthful information sharing. The piece argues that a16z's significant investment in prediction market platform Kalshi (valued at $220B) transcends mere financial speculation. a16z frames prediction markets as a new form of "media" that provides "presence"—a way for individuals to actively engage with and influence world events through financial stakes, countering postmodern detachment. By wagering on outcomes, users become "super observers," and the market's aggregated probabilities gain authoritative power to define event truth and importance. The article uses media company MTS ("Monitoring The Situation") as a case study of a16z's "new media" strategy: rapidly producing high-intensity, multi-format content to "take over the timeline." However, prediction markets like Kalshi are presented as the ultimate piece in this media empire. Their real-money, crowd-sourced probabilities possess a unique "reality distortion field" and perceived objectivity, potentially swaying public opinion and granting a private company unprecedented interpretive power over reality. Ultimately, Kalshi's immense valuation is attributed not just to its exchange model, but to its role as a foundational component in a16z's envisioned new media landscape, where prediction markets define narrative and truth.

What is CRMON

Salesforce Tokenized Stock (Ondo): Revolutionising Traditional Equity Access Through Blockchain Innovation The emergence of Salesforce Tokenized Stock (CRMON) marks a pivotal advancement in integrating traditional financial markets with blockchain technology. This innovative approach offers investors unprecedented access to equity exposure through tokenisation. Developed by Ondo Finance, CRMON provides tokenholders with economic exposure equivalent to holding Salesforce stock (CRM) while automatically reinvesting dividends. This effectively bridges the gap between conventional equity markets and decentralised finance (DeFi). Introduction and Comprehensive Overview of Salesforce Tokenized Stock In recent years, the financial landscape has dramatically transformed due to blockchain technology, fundamentally altering how investors access and interact with traditional assets. The development of Salesforce Tokenized Stock (CRMON) is a prime example of this evolution, representing a sophisticated fusion of conventional equity markets with cutting-edge distributed ledger technology. CRMON is a tokenised version of Salesforce stock, emerging from the innovative work of Ondo Finance, a leading platform in the real-world asset tokenisation sector that positions itself as a bridge between traditional finance and decentralised systems. Designed to provide tokenholders with economic exposure that mirrors the performance of the underlying Salesforce stock, CRMON incorporates automatic dividend reinvestment mechanisms. This eliminates many traditional barriers associated with international equity investment, such as complex brokerage relationships, currency conversion challenges, and restricted trading hours. The tokenisation process reimagines stock ownership as a blockchain-native asset while maintaining its economic equivalence with the underlying security, offering enhanced portability and integration capabilities within decentralised finance ecosystems. CRMON transcends its individual utility as an investment instrument to represent a fundamental shift in how financial markets can operate in an increasingly digital world. By maintaining full backing through U.S.-registered broker-dealers and implementing robust compliance frameworks, CRMON demonstrates that tokenised securities can achieve the regulatory standards necessary for institutional adoption while delivering the technological advantages of blockchain infrastructure. Understanding Tokenized Real-World Assets and CRMON's Strategic Position Tokenised real-world assets signify one of the most significant innovations in modern finance, fundamentally reimagining how traditional securities are represented, traded, and utilised within digital ecosystems. CRMON operates as a tokenised equity instrument correlating directly with Salesforce stock while optimising accessibility and efficiency. This aligns with Ondo Finance's broader mission to democratise access to institutional-grade financial products through innovative tokenisation strategies. The tokenisation process guarantees complete economic equivalence with the underlying Salesforce equity. Each CRMON token represents a proportional claim on Salesforce stock held by qualified custodians, with dividend payments automatically reinvested to maintain continuous exposure to total return performance. This structure simplifies dividend management and ensures that tokenholders receive the full economic benefit of their equity exposure, encompassing both capital appreciation and income generation. Ondo Finance's strategy in tokenising Salesforce stock demonstrates its expertise in creating compliant, institutional-grade products that meet traditional financial markets' stringent requirements. The platform’s focus on merging regulatory compliance with blockchain benefits positions it at the forefront of decentralised finance, captivating both institutional and retail investors seeking blockchain-native solutions.

Built on the Ethereum blockchain, CRMON utilises robust smart contract capabilities to ensure transparent, secure operations. The smart contract architecture incorporates layered security and compliance mechanisms, enabling automated compliance checks and real-time asset backing verification. Integration with oracle services maintains accurate pricing and dividend information, ensuring CRMON reflects the underlying Salesforce stock's accurate performance. This architecture delivers automated dividend reinvestments and other corporate actions, eliminating manual processing requirements and directly enhancing tokenholder benefits. Ondo Finance ensures CRMON's security structure includes daily third-party verification of holdings, independent collateral agents, and a multiple-layer custody system through partnerships with established financial institutions. This framework safeguards tokenholder interests against operational risks while providing robust asset backing. The user interface enhances integration capabilities, allowing seamless interaction between CRMON and various decentralised finance protocols, as well as cryptocurrency exchanges. This interoperability enables users to leverage their tokenised equity across multiple platforms, creating sophisticated investment strategies that marry traditional equity characteristics with blockchain-native innovation. Leadership and Corporate Structure of Ondo Finance The leadership team behind CRMON and Ondo Finance blends expertise from traditional finance and blockchain technology, presenting a robust combination of skills essential for successfully bridging conventional markets with decentralised finance.

In total, Ondo Finance has successfully secured substantial funding, raising significant capital for product development and market expansion, including a noteworthy token sale that reinforced its governance structure through the establishment of the ONDO token. The diverse composition of investors reflects broad market confidence in Ondo Finance's business model, demonstrating support from both traditional and blockchain-native organisations. Operational Mechanics and Technical Implementation The operational framework supporting CRMON exemplifies sophisticated integration of traditional financial mechanisms with blockchain technology. The technical implementation introduces multiple layers of security, compliance, and operational efficiency to meet institutional standards while enhancing accessibility. The tokenisation process begins by acquiring actual Salesforce stock through U.S.-registered broker-dealers, ensuring each CRMON token maintains direct correlation with the underlying equity performance. Smart contracts automate operational processes, including dividend reinvestment and corporate action processing, facilitating a streamlined user experience. The Minting and redemption processes allow authorised participants to manage CRMON tokens effectively. During U.S. trading hours, institutions can mint new tokens by depositing stablecoins that are used to purchase corresponding Salesforce equity. This structure maintains a tight correlation with underlying assets, enhancing liquidity and price discovery. Additionally, the infrastructure supports twenty-four-hour token transfer capabilities, providing CRMON holders with operations outside traditional market hours. This represents a significant advantage over conventional securities ownership, thus promoting integration with decentralised finance applications. Plans for cross-chain compatibility through partnerships signal further ambitions for CRMON's market reach. By expanding to other blockchain networks, Ondo Finance aims to enhance accessibility and user engagement with tokenised equity products. Timeline and Historical Development of Tokenized Equity Innovation The timeline of CRMON's development and Ondo Finance's broader tokenised capabilities demonstrates a systematic innovation process beginning with the company's founding in 2021. 2021: Ondo Finance is founded by Nathan Allman and co-founders, launching initial products focused on structured vault offerings on the Ethereum blockchain. 2022: The company completes substantial funding rounds—both equity and token sales—totaling significant capital and launching initial tokenised U.S. Treasury products. 2023-2024: Ondo Finance experiences substantial growth, establishing partnerships with major financial institutions while expanding its product offerings beyond fixed-income securities.

This timeline highlights the organisation's rapid growth and its capability to adapt its technological and compliance frameworks to accommodate different asset classes effectively while maintaining security and regulatory integrity. Regulatory Framework and Compliance Approach Ondo Finance's regulatory framework showcases a sophisticated compliance strategy, essential for achieving institutional adoption in the tokenised securities market.

Furthermore, Ondo Finance's commitment extends to international regulatory compliance, ensuring token access remains restricted to eligible investors while adhering to pertinent cross-border securities regulations.

Market projections indicate the tokenised asset sector could value multiple trillion dollars by 2030. With plans to scale CRMON offerings significantly and integrate it with a dedicated blockchain infrastructure—Ondo Chain—Ondo Finance aims to elevate its institutional-grade tokenised asset operations. Additionally, the development of strategic partnerships enhances distribution capabilities while establishing the company's credibility in the financial market. Furthermore, the integration of tokenised equity with decentralised finance protocols offers new potential for innovative financial products and strategies previously impossible with traditional securities. These factors underscore CRMON's positioning to effectively capture increased market share and deliver innovative solutions for international investment exposure.
