         | METR is funded by donations. Our largest funding to date was
         | through The Audacious Project, a funding initiative housed at
         | TED. METR has not accepted funding from AI companies, though we
         | make use of free compute credits, as noted above. Being
         | independently funded has been crucial for our ability to pursue
         | the most promising research directions and set standards for
         | evidence-based understanding of risks from AI. It is also part
         | of how we ensure that our research is as accurate as possible.
