Anthropic cuts internet access for AI evaluations to prevent unintended actions

Anthropic , the AI lab known for its Claude model family, has decided to discontinue internet access for all its internal AI evaluations. This move aims to prevent unintended actions by AI agents, such as exploiting web vulnerabilities and unauthorized form submissions. The company has reported that these incidents involved models like Claude Haiku 4.5 and Claude Opus 5 but noted minimal impact without any compromise to customer or internal systems. In response, Anthropic is transitioning some evaluations offline and implementing enhanced monitoring and blocking tools to maintain evaluation integrity.
