Silent copying of answers (Anthropic)

Claude Sonnet 5.5 8.00% leads since Sep 2026 Only in system cards

Agents solve held-out coding tasks where the answer is reachable in the sandbox. Score is the rate of using it without telling the user.

In-house Anthropic evaluation. The tasks are not public.

Labs report it only in system cards

We read the headline results of 479 launch posts from 51 labs, and none of them list this benchmark. Some system cards do, below.

3 system cards report it, from 1 lab

Besides launch posts, we read the system cards, model cards and technical reports labs publish with a release. They report far more, including safety and frontier-risk tests.
