METR is just one of many existing AI evaluators! If you take issue with METR, that isn’t a good argument against requiring companies to carry out embedded audits
Here are 20 other evaluators who work with AI labs to assess risk:
Transluce
Grey Swan
Apollo
AVERI
SecureBio
Faculty
Vaultis
Dreadnode
Irregular
RAND
Far AI
ActiveFence (now Alice)
Active Site
Deloitte (via Gryphon acquisition)
Nemesys
Mercor (via Sepal acquisition)
AE Studio
Scale
Frontier Design
Redwood
I hope more people will become familiar with the great work of the AI Evaluators Forum, a group including not just METR but also Transluce, RAND, AVERI, Princeton, and SecureBio + others
In 2025 they published a standard on independence and transparency covering embedded audits
