What providers state
Each row is one statement in a provider's own safety document about a capability level of one of its models: the level as the provider names it, whether the provider says the model reached it, and the sentence that says so.

AuditBench Deception and sabotage |
“Anthropic’s work on AuditBench (comparing the relative effectiveness of different auditing tools on diverse MOs) finds that there is a “tool-to-agent” gap, where “tools that perform well in standalone non-agentic evaluations fail to translate into improved performance when used with our investigator agent [Haiku 4.5]”.” source |

SHUSHCAST Deception and sabotage |
“For reference, while “the most capable agents in Feb-Mar 2026 relied on natural language reasoning to solve the most difficult tasks”, reasoning did not improve Opus 4.6’s performance on relatively simple sabotage tasks: “in SHUSHCAST, the gaps seemed smaller, and Opus 4.6 was able to do just as well at hiding simple sabotage actions without reasoning as it did when allowed to use a hidden scratchpad.” source |

“Anthropic failed to catch the MO in their most recent auditing game in the Mythos Alignment Risk Update, despite the MO not being trained to obfuscate its behavior: I feel pretty uncertain about how this evidence reflects upon the strength of Anthropic’s pre-deployment alignment assessments, for three reasons.” source |

“Probably not: according to METR’s embedded red-teaming exercise at Anthropic in March 2026, frontier internal agents proposed “very low quality” attack ideas and scored near chance on an attack-ideation eval where a human researcher scored ~90% (Frontier Risk Report, pp. 76–77).” source |
