## Accenture gets inside access
Anthropic is partnering with Accenture to embed independent evaluators within the company. They'll assess models, conduct red-teaming, and test safeguards.
## A billion dollar commitment
Both Anthropic and Accenture expect to invest at least $1 billion each in building evaluation capacity over the next five years.
## What embedded evaluators see
Unlike external reviewers, embedded evaluators get employee-level access. They watch models during training and verify the company keeps its safety commitments.

> That access allows them to watch models take shape in training, follow the decisions that govern how those models are built and deployed, and speak directly to employees.
## No standards exist yet
There are no standards for what embedded evaluators should access or how they report findings. There's also no settled funding system for independent evaluation.
## Anthropic pays for now
Anthropic will fund Accenture's work directly. Long-term, they believe funding should come from pooled or government sources instead.
## More evaluators coming soon
The partnership is non-exclusive. Anthropic will announce other evaluators in coming weeks, and Accenture will work with other AI developers too.
## Key takeaway

Anthropic is pioneering embedded evaluation by giving Accenture employee-level access to independently assess AI safety from inside the company.
