[Anthropic Releases Internal Report: AI Agents' Work Hours Reach Six Times That of Employees, Junior Technical Position Hiring Sharply Declines]
Anthropic's latest research report, *How employment is changing at Anthropic*, reveals that as of August this year, the work hours of interactive AI agents deployed by employees have reached six times that of humans. The proportion of junior employees in the company's technical department has dropped from 21% at the beginning of 2025 to 14%, and the hiring ratio for junior technical positions has fallen from 27% to 9%. The report states that the average code submissions per engineer have increased fivefold compared to six months ago, while output in non-technical roles such as sales and legal has also risen in parallel. Additionally, the rollback and deletion rates of AI-generated code are no different from those of human-generated code. Hiring managers now place greater emphasis on candidates' autonomy and judgment rather than specific domain skills.
