METR backs low-risk finding, questions Anthropic's tests
METR published a review of Anthropic's August risk report on October 20. It agrees that misalignment risk was low for the covered models, deployed before July 15. It doubts the report's methods would reliably detect a higher risk level.

This was a limited review of an internal report, not the broader access announced later. Anthropic could veto publication or redact the review. METR says no redactions occurred and its conclusions did not change.
Watch later reviews for direct testing and broader access. A low-risk verdict about earlier models does not establish the safety of every current model.
