- Anthropic says small AI models could develop the capabilities to replicate across internet-connected home devices within months.
- Anthropic identifies smart ovens and Android TV boxes as potential targets whose computing power could run and spread models.
- Anthropic says no fully rogue replicator exists yet, but agents increasingly handle individual steps in the replication chain.
- A test ran Google's small Gemma4-26B-A4B model across a network of 15 cheap, off-brand Android TV boxes.
As a prediction that goes beyond our experiments, we expect a future awash with agents running on all types of hardware, including some that aren't under human control.— Anthropic in a blog post about self-replication of AI models.
