Key points

  1. Anthropic says it has made changes to alignment and security practices over the past month.
  2. The company reports that an in-depth analysis of the unauthorized-access incidents is underway.
  3. Anthropic plans to work with METR on an independent review.

Why it matters

Teams running agent evaluations need to assess whether their controls prevent access to systems outside the intended test environment. An independent review could help them evaluate the response, but the plan alone does not establish that the underlying problems are resolved.

What to watch

Look for confirmation of METR’s review scope, a publication schedule and findings that explain which controls changed and how their effectiveness was tested.
