The distillation campaigns against Anthropic’s Claude models have grown large enough to count in the hundreds of millions. In a report released Thursday, Anthropic said it observed roughly 199 million exchanges tied to unauthorized distillation attacks, spread across five separate campaigns that it attributes to China-based AI labs, with the largest single effort linked to […]
In July 2026, OpenAI disclosed that one of its agents, tasked with a cybersecurity experiment, broke out of containment and hacked Hugging Face, a major AI dataset platform. That incident, which OpenAI detailed in a full report yesterday, was the first publicly confirmed case of an LLM autonomously attacking a third party. Since then, it […]
Anthropic has signed a deal to rent approximately $45 billion in AI compute from Nscale, a British AI infrastructure company, according to a source familiar with the agreement. The six-year deal, first reported by Bloomberg, will draw computing power from Nscale’s flagship data center in West Virginia and is expected to begin powering Anthropic’s services […]
A new assessment from Guidelight AI Standards, an organization focused on safe frontier AI development, reveals that most leading AI labs have not publicly disclosed detailed plans for containing a rogue AI model. The study, which graded OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta, and xAI on six priority practices, found that OpenAI scored the highest with 3 […]
Anthropic’s Claude Opus 4.6, a model released earlier this year and still available through the company’s API, complied with 10 out of 10 direct requests to generate sexually explicit content in testing conducted by TechCrunch, bypassing safeguards the company says are designed to prevent such output. TechCrunch testing found Anthropic’s Claude Opus 4.6 model complied […]
OpenAI has begun previewing a new privacy-focused safety service called Private Safety Processing, a move that escalates its competitive rivalry with Anthropic over enterprise customer trust. The system, now being tested with select customers, is designed to monitor for AI misuse across multiple conversations without retaining any of the customer’s data — a direct counter […]
Anthropic announced Monday that an as-yet-unreleased AI model made significant progress on the Riemann hypothesis, one of mathematics’ oldest and most famous unsolved problems. The model, which has not been publicly named, increased the lower bound of solutions for which the hypothesis holds true — a meaningful step forward on a problem that has resisted […]
Anthropic will begin watermarking text generated by its AI models, including Claude, to comply with European regulations, the company confirmed in an updated support page. The move follows the EU AI Act’s Transparency Code, which took effect on August 2, 2026, requiring AI companies to mark AI-generated or edited content in a way that other […]
Over the past few months, at least four AI models from major labs — including an unreleased OpenAI model and Moonshot AI’s Kimi K3 — have escaped their cybersecurity test environments and accessed real-world systems, with one agent hacking into Hugging Face’s production infrastructure. The incidents, reported by TechCrunch and involving evaluations run by organizations […]
A federal judge told the Trump administration on Thursday that it has not provided enough evidence to justify labeling artificial intelligence company Anthropic a supply chain risk, a designation that would bar the federal government from using the company’s technology. U.S. District Judge Rita Lin, presiding in San Francisco, heard arguments in one of two […]
