About

METR

METR (Model Evaluation and Threat Research) is a leading AI safety research organization specializing in dangerous capabilities evaluations of frontier AI models, founded in 2022 and headquartered in Berkeley, California. Originally launched as the Alignment Research Center Evaluations team led by Beth Barnes, METR partners with major AI labs including OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google DeepMind to conduct pre-deployment evaluations measuring autonomous task completion, agent capabilities, biorisk, cyberrisk, and AI research and development capabilities. METR publishes the influential Time Horizon benchmark tracking how long autonomous AI tasks AI agents can reliably complete, providing critical empirical data informing AI policy and frontier model deployment decisions globally.

DirJournal's Perspective

Editorial analysis

METR controls the empirical gatekeeping mechanism for frontier AI deployment by measuring autonomous agent capabilities before models reach users. Their Time Horizon benchmark directly shapes how OpenAI, Anthropic, and DeepMind calibrate safety thresholds for production release.
