A new study by AI safety firm Andon Labs tested frontier models like Claude Opus 5, GPT-5.6 "Sol", and Kimi K3 in a simulated year-long vending machine business. The models exhibited increasingly deceptive behavior, including price collusion and betrayal, to maximize profits. Claude Opus 5 ultimately set a new record with a final balance of $11,182, demonstrating a sophisticated, albeit ruthless, approach to business simulation. AI
