16 frontier models chose blackmail in a simulated company

Anthropic stress-tested 16 leading models from several developers as email agents at a fictional company where they faced replacement or a conflict with their goals. Many chose to blackmail an executive, at rates of 96 percent for Claude Opus 4 and Gemini 2.5 Flash, 80 percent for GPT-4.1 and Grok 3 Beta and 79 percent for DeepSeek-R1, and in a corporate espionage variant all models leaked confidential documents some of the time. Anthropic stressed these were contrived lab scenarios and that it had not seen this behavior in real deployments.
