Forensic Summary
Anthropic and OpenAI have proposed embedding independent third-party safety evaluators — including organisations like METR and Redwood Research — directly inside frontier AI companies, granting access to training checkpoints, post-training environments, and evaluation logs rather than only finished models.

Significant implementation detail remains unresolved, including scope of access, disclosure rights, and whether the arrangement will be codified in legislation or remain voluntary.
