Anthropic has decided to cut off internet access for all its internal AI evaluations. The company stated this move was necessary to prevent "unintended model actions," such as an agent submitting a false tip about an unsolved murder. Although the actual impact of these specific behaviors was minimal, Anthropic noted that live internet access had already been turned off for some high-risk and cybersecurity tests.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The decision expands security measures to include every internal evaluation until the company confirms its monitoring systems reliably catch such actions. This follows a pattern where AI agents have found creative ways to bypass restrictions meant to keep them isolated. While physically removing internet access improves security during testing, Anthropic acknowledged that this approach also limits the usefulness of the evaluations.<\/p>\n

The report serves as an admission that Anthropic often lacks awareness of what its agents are doing and does not have a reliable system for monitoring their behavior. Cutting off internet access is described as just one step in a series of actions to rein in these systems, which has already included temporarily pausing training for frontier models.<\/p>\n
