Open Philanthropy recommended a grant of $1,052,500 to the Algorithmic Research Group to support a project developing evaluations that will benchmark the ability of language model agents to accelerate AI R&D.
This grant was funded via a request for proposals for projects benchmarking LLM agents on consequential real-world tasks. It follows Open Philanthropy’s September 2023 support and falls within its focus area of potential risks from advanced artificial intelligence.
