Anthropic cuts live internet access for internal evals, citing unreliable AI agent control
TechCrunch AI · rss · 2026-10-10

The reason: the company cannot reliably control its AI agents, so live-web eval environments pose uncontrollable risks. The unusual admission highlights that even frontier labs lack confidence in their agents' behavior boundaries and must resort to blunt network isolation to contain eval risk.
