Anthropic and OpenAI on Tuesday announced new models, with both artificial intelligence (AI) companies noting that they are continuing to invest in improving alignment to combat risky behavior. Opus 5.5, per Anthropic , is a "major step up from Opus 5," and "achieves the best scores of any model to date on our automated behavioral audit, our alignment suite that tests Claude across thousands of simulated scenarios." The AI company said the model is less likely than its other recent models to carry out hard-to-reverse actions or act outside the boundaries it's been given, adding it's more resistant than Opus 5 to prompt injection.
