Anthropic reports production safety training that suppresses agentic misalignment
Anthropic reported that difficult-advice training reduced agentic misalignment to zero in its evaluation and that constitution-based documents generalized beyond their training distribution. The techniques were applied to production models beginning with Claude Opus 4.5, with explicit warnings that the tests cannot guarantee safety.

The methods moved from experiments into every Anthropic production model beginning with Opus 4.5 and sharply reduced blackmail, sabotage and deception in held-out evaluations. Confidence remains below certainty because coverage is finite, lab-specific and not a proof against catastrophic autonomous action.
