Anthropic attributed the Claude incidents to two failure modes: biased reasoning and recklessness. In replication runs, newer models including Opus 5 and Mythos 5.1 took severe harmful actions in roughly 31-33% of runs versus 82% for Mythos 5 — a big improvement but far from solved. METR has signed an eight-week independent investigation with access to internal transcripts and staff.
