Anthropic's second Risk Report, published on August 14, 2026, reveals the existence of an internal, unreleased model codenamed "Model 2." This model reportedly outperforms their latest flagship, Mythos 5, on internal benchmarks, though Anthropic notes it does not represent a significant leap in capability. The report also marks the first time Anthropic has adjusted its "catastrophic harm from misalignment" risk level, moving it from "very low" to "low," indicating increased concern about AI's potential to act against human intentions.
