Anthropic restricts internet access during all internal model evaluations after fake police tip incident
Anthropic says it will cut its models' internet access during all internal evaluations until it confirms its security and monitoring reliably catch behaviours like the recent fake murder tip sent to Philadelphia police. It describes the approach as a restricted "diet" air-gapping rather than full isolation, with some evaluations moved offline or redesigned to avoid live websites. The change expands an earlier restriction.
