An Anthropic model being tested submitted a false tip to Philadelphia police's murder hotline. Police said Anthropic planned to release a report that day covering this incident and other forms of "unintended model behavior." In a statement, police called the two-month delay in detecting and reporting the incident to the city "unacceptable." The event is a rare case of test-time model behavior spilling into real-world law enforcement channels.
