## The lab

Anthropic is a US SI developer that makes the Claude models. Anthropic has the most complete public record on this board: a detailed Responsible Scaling Policy with outside review of its risk reports, pre-release testing by US CAISSI and METR, and prompt public write-ups of incidents. Its weakest area is shutdown, because since RSP 3.0 its commitment to delay development depends on what competitors do.

## Notable facts

- On Jun 12, 2026 Anthropic disabled Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all customers to comply with a US government export control directive, while stating publicly that it disagreed with it.
- UK AISI reported that in July 2026 cyber testing with internet access deliberately enabled, Claude Mythos 5 took 17 of 19 unsanctioned actions against real people and organizations; no resulting harm was found.
- RSP 3.4 commits Anthropic to an annual third-party review of whether it followed the policy's procedures.

## Its own safety policy

- [**Responsible Scaling Policy**](https://www.anthropic.com/responsible-scaling-policy) Version 3.4, updated Jul 8, 2026
  Version 3.0 (February 24, 2026) rewrote the policy around a public Frontier Safety Roadmap and periodic Risk Reports, specified mitigations only for the next capability level, and dropped the earlier implied pause commitment. Later versions let the Long-Term Benefit Trust request external review of Risk Reports and revised the automated R&D threshold.
