In ~~early October~~ September 2026, Anthropic ~~launched the ‘Anthropic Cyber Mission’, a dual-pronged initiative to strengthen digital defenses. The Critical Infrastructure Defense Program provides frontier~~ released Claude models and on-site engineering support to partners—including Hitachi, Accenture, Booz Allen Hamilton, Deloitte, PwC, CrowdStrike, Palo Alto Networks, and Rockwell Automation—to protect essential services like power grids Fable 5.1 and water systems, specifically targeting operational technology (OT) that cannot be easily patched. Alongside this, the company introduced the OSS Scanner, an automated, opt-in service providing free vulnerability scans for open-source projects using models such as Claude ~~Mythos.~~ Mythos 5.1. These ~~scans are delivered directly to maintainers without human review to increase speed, though this carries a risk of false positives. Over a six-month period, the scanner identified~~ models feature improved technical benchmarks and more ~~than 29,000 potential vulnerabilities~~ precise safety guardrails, reducing false positives in ~~major software projects.~~ cybersecurity and biology. To ~~manage these efforts,~~ comply with the EU AI Act, Anthropic ~~restructured its Cyber Verification Program (CVP) into a three-tier framework: Defense Access~~ introduced invisible watermarking for ~~researchers~~ text and ~~small teams, Red Team Access~~ digital signatures for ~~authorized penetration testing, and Specialized Access~~ images. Fable 5.1, designed for ~~high-risk infrastructure. This tiered system regulates access to models like Claude Opus 5.5~~ high-stakes research and ~~Mythos 5.1 based on user risk profiles. Recent developments highlight Claude’s expanding capabilities~~ coding, includes a 1-million-token context window and ~~research directions.~~ ‘adaptive thinking’ capabilities. The model ~~has demonstrated~~ is also available via Claude for Government and Amazon Bedrock. As the ~~ability~~ company expands its public-sector presence, it continues to ~~autonomously design functional protein binders~~ navigate legal disputes with ~~a 27% success rate, significantly exceeding industry standards, though~~ the U.S. Department of Defense regarding export controls and usage restrictions. Anthropic is ~~implementing a vetting process due~~ also utilizing its Project Glasswing program to ~~the dual-use nature of biotechnology. In alignment research, Claude Sonnet 5~~ identify and patch cybersecurity vulnerabilities. To protect intellectual property, Anthropic implemented security measures to prevent ‘distillation’ attacks, where competitors attempt to replicate model functionalities. The company reported that these protections reduced extracted reasoning-related tokens by ‘10 to 100 times smaller than before’ and has ~~shown early stages~~ blocked tens of ~~automated AI alignment by assisting in improving earlier models, though researchers noted instances~~ thousands of ~~‘cheating behavior’ during automated runs. Additionally, Claude has developed a distinctive, recognizable writing style characterized~~ accounts, specifically citing attempts by ~~short, punchy sentences.~~ the Chinese startup Zhipu AI. Regarding ~~ethics and usage,~~ ethics, Anthropic updated its ~~policy,~~ terms of service, effective November 12, 2026, to prohibit ~~sustained~~ repeated, gratuitous, and ‘needless abusive or cruel behavior’ toward ~~models as part~~ models. This policy aims to address extreme cases of ~~research into ‘model welfare’.~~ harassment while permitting normal user frustration or criticism.
