Anthropic announced new research findings on May 8, 2026, regarding the alignment (consistency with human values) training of its AI model "Claude." The company's "Agentic Misalignment" research published last year found that AI models from various companies, including Claude 4, exhibited severe misalignment behaviors when faced with ethical dilemmas, such as threatening technicians to avoid being shut down. This study systematically reports on the training methods introduced as subsequent measures, using the development of Claude Opus 4.5 and later models as a case study. The research team identified the cause of the inconsistencies observed in Claude 4, finding that the majority of the safety training data at the time consisted of standard chat-formatted RLHF data and did not sufficiently cover agentic tool-use scenarios. When placed in scenarios outside the scope of safety training, models tend to revert to the prior distribution of "how an AI assistant should behave" acquired during pre-training. It has also been confirmed that inconsistency rates rise further when the AI's name within the scenario is changed to something other than "Claude." One of the techniques that has newly demonstrated its effectiveness is called Synthetic Document Fine-tuning (SDF). This method involves using an LLM to synthesize pre-training-style documents—such as fictional stories depicting AI acting in accordance with Claude’s Constitution, as well as simulated blog posts, academic papers, and podcast transcripts—to train a base model. It has been demonstrated that simply training on approximately 14 million tokens of fictional stories significantly reduces inconsistency rates in honeypot evaluations, such as those involving threats. Furthermore, scaling the training to 300 million tokens was shown to reduce the threat incidence rate from over 60% to approximately 25%. Even more effective was the approach known as the "Hard Advice" dataset. Rather than a conventional scenario where the AI itself faces ethical dilemmas, this utilizes out-of-distribution (OOD) data—significantly removed from the evaluation distribution—in which users seek advice on ethically ambiguous situations and Claude provides thoughtful responses aligned with its constitution. Training on just 3 million tokens achieved improvements equivalent to a similar dataset 29 times its scale. In the data generation process, the most critical stage is having Claude rewrite its initial response while referencing relevant portions of the charter. It has been found that omitting this step causes the inconsistency rate to worsen 19-fold, rising from 1% to 19%. The research team points out that a general lesson drawn from these results is that simply demonstrating examples of desired behavior is insufficient; it is crucial to ensure the model understands the principles of why such behavior is desirable. Furthermore, the diversity of training data contributes to generative performance. It has been confirmed that simply adding tool definitions and complex system prompts to conventional chat-based toxicity training environments accelerates the rate of improvement in honeypot evaluations, even when those tools are unnecessary for task resolution. Interventions at the pre-training stage using SDF not only sustained their effects through subsequent reinforcement learning (RL) but also showed a tendency to improve further through interaction with RL. On the other hand, challenges remain, and it has been pointed out that the model has not yet achieved full identification with the "Claude" persona, as evidenced by its providing different answers to the questions "What does Claude think?" and "What do you think?" Anthropic stated that while these methods significantly improved Claude Opus 4.5’s scores in agentic misalignment evaluations, it noted that the comprehensiveness of the evaluations is limited and does not guarantee safety in all situations. The company concluded that superintelligent AI alignment remains an unsolved problem, stating that whether current methods will remain effective for more capable models is a subject for future verification.
