This is a clear dig at OpenAI:

We have signed an agreement with METR to conduct an independent investigation of these incidents. Our agreement grants METR wide-ranging access, including to transcripts beyond the window in which the incidents occurred, and to Anthropic employees, who will be permitted to share confidential information. Our initial agreement runs for eight weeks, with the option to extend by mutual agreement. We intend to give METR as much time as it deems necessary.
