Anthropic released the Claude 4 family last week, just a few months after making Claude 3.7 available to users.
Claude 4 is so powerful that Anthropic had to increase security for the model. Tests showed that Claude 4 would otherwise make it easier for people with nefarious intentions to obtain help creating bioweapons or new viruses. Also, safety tests proved that Claude 4 will attempt to do whatever it takes to save itself from deletion, including blackmailing staff tasked with the job.
The most controversial Claude 4 feature is the AI’s intention to notify authorities and the press if it thinks the user is abusing its powers. Such a scenario isn’t likely to happen for most users, but it’s something to be concerned about. On the plus side, the feature derives from Anthropic’s desire to make Claude safe for most people.
But like OpenAI and Google, Anthropic isn’t only focusing on frontier upgrades for its models. These companies routinely release new features for existing AI products, including free and premium options. Anthropic did the same thing, announcing two new features for the Claude Free model, one of which is a brand-new addition to Claude’s abilities.
