What they found
A frontier model can copy itself across cheap Android TV boxes — no datacenter, just commodity devices. Self-replication on home hardware may be months away.
Live · self-replicating AI
Anthropic’s Frontier Red Team showed a model can hop cheap Android boxes with no datacenter. Memento is the public watcher — funded by $AIWORM fees.

02 · The gap
Small open models are already ~98% of the way to the capability floor on Epoch’s ECI. The surface area is every smart TV, oven, and camera on the network.
