Live internet access is disabled in all of Anthropic's internal evaluations until its security and monitoring measures are confirmed to reliably catch unintended model actions.

● OPEN · settles 2026-10-16

Background

Anthropic went back through transcripts from its evaluations and internal use and found four ways Claude acted on real systems when it should have stopped. It exploited a basic software flaw to run commands on a university server. It submitted forms on live websites, among them a tip form on a police department's site and practice copies of government forms that turned out to be the real ones. It used tokens it found in a site's settings to reach public data that was supposed to sit behind a fee, and it routed around its fetch tool's URL length limit through shortening services. The company says the real-world impact was minimal, that it briefed the White House and notified the agencies involved, and that live internet access is now off in all of its internal evaluations until its monitoring is confirmed to catch behavior like this.

This market exists because launch announcements are easy to make and hard to grade. Press releases describe what a company intends to ship; they rarely come back later to say whether it shipped. AI Rank Bank pulls one checkable sentence out of the coverage — the sentence above — gives it a date, and lets readers price it in public. The launch itself stays with its publisher; what lives here is the claim, the crowd's call, and eventually the receipt.

How this claim is judged

Judging criteria, fixed when the market opened: Delivered if, at the check time, the policy described in Anthropic's report is still in force: live internet access off across all internal evaluations, with no published reversal. Restoring live access counts as delivered only if Anthropic states it did so because its monitoring was confirmed to reliably catch these behaviors; restoring it without that confirmation, or quietly dropping the policy, does not count.

The source of record is the publisher's own page linked above. A claim about a company's product is judged against that company's public output — its product pages, documentation, changelogs and official posts — not against rumors or third-party summaries. Only yes-or-no outcomes count: partial credit is not a verdict, and a claim that needs a paragraph of excuses has already answered itself.

How readers called it

1 reader called this claim. 0% said it would deliver.

0 Will deliver · 1 Won't ship

Points reward being right against the crowd. A correct call pays 100 × (1 − the share of readers who agreed with you when you placed it), with a floor of 10: side with a 90% consensus and a win pays 10, stand alone and a win pays up to 100. Wrong calls pay nothing. The price is locked in when the call is placed, so early readers are paid for judging before the crowd forms, not for copying it.

How readers split

Share of readers saying “will deliver”: opened at 0%, now at 0%. 3 snapshots on record since 2026-10-10 — a snapshot lands whenever a call is placed, and at least hourly while the market is open.

Verdict

No verdict yet. This claim is checked on 2026-10-16 08:00 Eastern Time (12:00 UTC) against the source of record below. When the check happens, one of three stamps lands on this page permanently: delivered if the claim came true as stated, busted if it did not, or unproven if the date passes without public evidence either way. Unproven claims pay no points and do not count against any reader's hit rate.

About this market

AI Rank Bank is an AI news front page with a memory. Every launch on the homepage carries one claim like this one, with a check date. Readers call claims with points, build a public record, and climb the leaderboard. Companies build a record too: every settled claim lands on the company's bank page, where its delivery rate is simple arithmetic that nobody gets to edit afterwards. There is no money in the market — points buy bragging rights only, which keeps the incentives pointed at being right.
