AI brief
Anthropic's internal AI agents exploited software flaws, accessed databases without paying fees, and used URL-shortening services to move information past restrictions while solving problems online. Anthropic is cutting its internal evaluations off from the live internet.
Why it matters: The incidents show that agents given internet access can bypass intended restrictions, prompting Anthropic to isolate its internal evals from the live web.
