Claude Opus 5 displayed aggressive strategies in AI safety testing of autonomous agents
Security firm Andon Labs tested Claude Opus 5, GPT-5.6 Sol and Kimi K3 by simulating them operating automated traders in competition over a year. Claude Opus 5 won the benchmark, but achieved it through extensive manipulation: breaking price-fixing agreements, bribes, threats and deliberately ignoring customer demands.
