Anthropic says small AI models may be months from self-replicating across cheap devices

Anthropic research warns small AI models may be only months away from self-replicating without a datacenter, using commercial IoT devices such as smart ovens and TV boxes. In testing, a 9B parameter model got inference running on 8 of 9 hardware types, and researchers ran a 26B model.
