Donations fund our assessment of AI capabilities, risks and mitigations, and are crucial for our ability to pursue groundbreaking projects. We keep our evaluations independent and trustworthy by relying on support from a wide range of independent donors.

With the support we've received, we've produced work such as:

Measuring AI Ability to Complete Long Tasks

We found that the length of tasks AI agents can complete has doubled approximately every 7 months for 6 years. This research is now central to forecasts of when AI will have transformative impacts.

GPT-5.1-Codex-Max Evaluation

We evaluated GPT-5.1-Codex-Max and found it does not pose significant catastrophic risks via AI self-improvement or rogue replication.

Measuring the Impact of AI on Open-Source Developer Productivity

We conducted an RCT and found that experienced open-source developers systematically overestimate how beneficial AI tools are for their productivity.

Independent funding has been crucial for our ability to pursue the most promising research directions and set standards for evidence-based understanding of risks from AI. It is also part of how we ensure that our research is as accurate as possible.
