Anthropic published RSP v3.0, eliminating the absolute commitment to halt model training if capabilities outpace safety. Chief science officer Jared Kaplan told TIME: "We didn't really feel, with the rapid advance of AI, that it made sense for us to make unilateral commitments...if competitors are blazing ahead." The new policy only pauses development if Anthropic's leaders BOTH consider themselves the AI race leader AND judge catastrophe risks material -- simultaneously. Meanwhile, the Pentagon's Friday 5:01pm deadline for Defense Production Act invocation over Anthropic's refusal to drop redlines on autonomous weapons and mass surveillance remains in effect. METR's Chris Painter warned of "frog-boiling." This is the most consequential AI safety confrontation to date. What to do: If you build on Anthropic APIs, the RSP change doesn't affect your products today, but track whether this triggers regulatory action or competitive safety race-to-the-bottom.
