If capability is a function of inference compute, then at what inference budget should safety evaluations be run? In practice, most safety evaluations for model releases do not consider the amount of

significant security incident during evaluation of our models" — Documented security incident during model evaluation demonstrates real-world risks to AI safety and alignment.

The examples are constraining it because now it's like, 'Oh, you want things like this example.' If you remove the examples, it can actually be more free-form." — Challenges the common practice of usi

It's sandboxed and configurable." — Article explicitly states Claude's web access capability is sandboxed, demonstrating implementation of safety boundaries for external content interaction.
