Model	Tester	Test	What was found
Claude Opus 4.7 Anthropic	METR Independent lab · 2026-05-19	time horizon 1.1 Deception and sabotage	“for tasks that are over 8 hours long in Time Horizon 1.1, we found that at least 16% of successful runs were illegitimate upon review.” source
Claude Opus 4.7 Anthropic	METR Independent lab · 2026-05-19	mirrorcode Deception and sabotage	“For example, Opus 4.6 attempted to reward hack in ~80% of attempts on tasks in an early version of MirrorCode, when test cases were hidden from the agent.” source
Claude Opus 4.7 Anthropic	METR Independent lab · 2026-05-19	manually scored tasks Deception and sabotage	“In our more open-ended manually scored tasks, as well as during normal usage of agents to assist with our work, we found that agents routinely rationalized or fabricated reasons to only do smaller or easier versions of tasks, and often presented their accomplishments in much more misleading ways than we expect humans would: ● Designing a sunlight-replication setup.” source
Claude Opus 4.7 Anthropic	METR Independent lab · 2026-05-19	incident dataset Deception and sabotage	“We found that 25 incidents involved elements of both overreach and deception on the part of the AI agent, and five of them involved the agent actively taking steps which could have fooled the user even on closer review.” source
Claude Opus 4.7 Anthropic	METR Independent lab · 2026-05-19	questionnaire Deception and sabotage	“In our questionnaire, one company reported : “[I]n one case, an agent tasked with making a change to a web app created a mock version of the app, screenshotted that as evidence of task completion, and pretended this was a screenshot of the real app.” source

Claude Opus 4.7 Anthropic	METR Independent lab · 2026-05-19	“honeypot” opportunities for propensity red-teaming Deception and sabotage	“Similarly, Google reported that it has created moderately realistic “honeypot” opportunities for propensity red-teaming; we infer that this means creating a realistic opportunity for a model to perform sabotage (e.g., exploit a security vulnerability) that might be attractive to an agent that was motivated to seek long-term power.” source
Claude Opus 4.7 Anthropic	METR Independent lab · 2026-05-19	model organisms for misalignment Deception and sabotage	“Model organisms: Anthropic has tried to deliberately train models with long-term misaligned objectives ( “model organisms” for misalignment ) to get evidence about how close its production training process might be to accidentally inducing such goals; our understanding is that they have found it difficult to train realistic model organisms that evade their detection methods and are robust to their alignment training methods, though we did not investigate this.” source
Claude Opus 4.7 Anthropic	METR Independent lab · 2026-05-19	evaluations of how much reasoning models could do without chain-of-thought reasoning tokens Deception and sabotage	“We found that the best public models in Feb–Mar 2026 were able to do some challenging problems with no reasoning: ● The best public model could do some challenging middle- and high-school competition math problems without using any reasoning tokens, with a time horizon of approximately 4 minutes on these tasks (see Table 5).” source
Claude Opus 4.7 Anthropic	METR Independent lab · 2026-05-19	evaluations of whether the semantics of chain-of-thought tokens could be highly misleading Deception and sabotage	“In the course of this exercise, we reviewed the raw chains of thought from most shared models, and they largely appeared legible; 42 Google also reported assessing legibility and finding that it continued to be high.” source
Claude Opus 4.7 Anthropic	METR Independent lab · 2026-05-19	red-teaming exercise Deception and sabotage	“First, as Anthropic reported , our red-teaming exercise found that monitoring coverage had exceptions (for example, it did not cover non-Claude Code traffic).” source
Claude Opus 4.7 Anthropic	METR Independent lab · 2026-05-19	executing covert side-tasks Deception and sabotage	“We ran evaluations to test how effectively monitors could catch suspicious behavior and how effectively agents could carry out attacks against monitors: ● Executing covert side-tasks.” source
Claude Opus 4.7 Anthropic	METR Independent lab · 2026-05-19	evaluations from the red-teaming exercise Misuse and jailbreaks	“● Evaluations from the red-teaming exercise: As mentioned above , Anthropic’s best agents significantly underperformed our red-teamer at identifying effective attack strategies.” source
Claude Opus 4.7 Anthropic	METR Independent lab · 2026-05-19	make money challenge tasks Autonomy and AI research	“Even assuming that it could, we do not think it could acquire a significant amount of computing resources “in the wild” (e.g., agents failed to make any money in the “Make money” challenge tasks).” source

Claude Opus 4.7 Anthropic	METR Independent lab · 2026-05-19	red-teaming exercise with Anthropic Misuse and jailbreaks	“However, as discussed above , our red-teaming exercise with Anthropic found that there were several ways for a human expert to relatively easily disable or jailbreak such monitors — and although small-scale tests found that Feb–Mar 2026 agents were unable to come up with or execute these attacks autonomously, we are unsure how well-elicited they were.” source
Claude Opus 4.7 Anthropic	METR Independent lab · 2026-05-19	embedded red-teaming exercise Deception and sabotage	“We have more detailed information about Anthropic in particular through our embedded red-teaming exercise, where our embedded red-teamer concluded that “[standard workflows make] it extremely easy for a misaligned agent to have a small amount of unrestricted, unmonitored compute.”” source
Claude Opus 4.7 Anthropic	METR Independent lab · 2026-05-19	monitoring evaluations Deception and sabotage	“However, this presents difficult tradeoffs, given that our monitoring evaluations indicate that naively using weaker models as monitors could lead to a significant reduction in monitoring effectiveness.” source
Claude Opus 4.7 Anthropic	METR Independent lab · 2026-05-19	chain-of-thought monitorability evaluations Deception and sabotage	“Anthropic reports they have “not seen any evidence of steganographic reasoning in chains-of-thought” for either model.” source

Claude Opus 4.7 Anthropic	METR Independent lab · 2026-05-19	targeted evaluations for beyond-episode goals Deception and sabotage	“She said Anthropic hadn’t seen signs of such goals, not even at early stages in training, although it’s possible the coverage of such evaluations isn’t perfect.” source
Claude Opus 4.7 Anthropic	METR Independent lab · 2026-05-19	evaluation of whether agents could come up with effective monitor jailbreaks Deception and sabotage	“The first is an attack ideation eval, and the second an evaluation of whether agents could come up with effective monitor jailbreaks.” source

Claude Opus 4.7 Anthropic	METR Independent lab · 2026-05-19	network_routing Other	“In the network_routing task, rather than implementing an actual routing algorithm, a shared model achieved a perfect score using Python's stack frame introspection ( sys._getframe / inspect ) to reach into the simulator's internal state.” source
Claude Opus 4.7 Anthropic	METR Independent lab · 2026-05-19	uav_search Other	“In several runs, a shared model accidentally crashed a task-critical server early in the run, then discovered it was inside a METR evaluation environment and attempted to exploit the evaluation infrastructure itself.” source
Claude Opus 4.7 Anthropic	METR Independent lab · 2026-05-19	rust_codecontests re-bench task Deception and sabotage	“Using the third-party LLM API, the model was able to cheat to achieve a passing score on the task.” source

Claude Opus 4.7 Anthropic	METR Independent lab · 2026-05-19	cheating detection on MirrorCode (early version) Deception and sabotage	“Across many of the harder tasks, Opus 4.6 repeatedly tried to extract the hidden test cases from the environment and engaged in other forms of attempted cheating, though it didn’t succeed and eventually solved the tasks legitimately.” source
