Anthropic says Claude now self-assesses misuse after each response

First reported

Latent Space ran this on 30 October.

Anthropic, the company behind the Claude chatbot, says Claude produces a preliminary misuse check after every response.
The check began in June and is meant to catch misuse that Anthropic's automated filters missed.
Anthropic says the self-check should get more accurate as the underlying model improves.
