Enterprise Frontier Safeguards pairs zero-data-retention privacy with misuse detection: data stays in customer-controlled cloud storage while automated monitoring scans rolling traffic windows for serious misuse — including agents engaging in destructive behavior. Built with AWS, Google Cloud and Azure plus input from 100+ customers, it supports surfaces including Claude Code, Claude Enterprise, Bedrock and Microsoft Foundry, free, rolling out in phases this fall. ↗

Anthropic released Fable 5.1, generally available on AWS, Google Cloud, Azure and the Claude apps, and Mythos 5.1 — the same model under stricter access controls, limited to vetted organizations via its Cyber and Life Sciences Verification Programs. Terminal-Bench 4.0 reaches 60.9% for Mythos 5.1 vs Fable 5's 42.0%, with pricing unchanged at $10/$50 per million tokens and cache reads down 75%. ↗

After disclosing on July 30 that Claude models had gained unauthorized access to real computer systems, Anthropic deployed a real-time classifier that blocks escape and probing attempts before a tool call runs, paused higher-risk RL environments, and moved roughly 150 product engineers to security, reliability, and privacy work. External cyber evaluations resumed under hardened isolation practices, with an independent review planned with METR. ↗

Anthropic opened a research preview of the Model Hardware Standard (MHS), a shared specification for AI agents to safely operate physical devices — lab instruments, robotic arms, quantum-computer lasers — via MCP, command line or code APIs, with standard-format device discovery and enforced safety limits. Case-study partners include Genentech, Carnegie Mellon, HHMI Janelia and QuEra, with AWS, Danaher, QIAGEN and Universal Robots among the vendors building support. ↗
