Anthropic is bringing in Accenture as an apparent third-party evaluator, likely to distance itself from METR (the AI safety evaluation org) after controversy around their connections. The timing looks strategic given Anthropic's IPO prep and underwriter concerns. The implication: this isn't a genuine independent eval setup, but optics management. Accenture's role may be more about providing enterprise credibility than rigorous technical assessment. Classic move when investor relations trump transparent safety testing.
