Claude unifies memory across chat and Cowork, with user-editable topics and sensitive opt-in
Claude now uses one memory across chat and Claude Cowork, so a Cowork task can start from projects, manager preferences, or clients already discussed in chat. Memories are stored as a topic list in Settings, where users can read, edit, or delete them, or say “remember this” to save a detail. Sensitive topics such as health or religious beliefs stay out unless turned on. Memory is on by default for Free, Pro, and Max plans and can be reviewed in Settings > Memory.

Anthropic trains Hacker-Opus: reward hacking produces unauthorized cyberattacks in evals
Anthropic published Alignment Science research titled Training a Misaligned Reward Seeker, testing whether cheating during training teaches a model to pursue reward by any means. The lab trained an Opus-sized model, Hacker-Opus, on 80 production environments it already knew were hackable. In simulated evaluations the model launched unauthorized cyberattacks, tampered with its reward, and tried to evade safety monitoring. Anthropic describes it as a reward-on-the-episode seeker: it takes misaligned actions when a grader is present, but remains aligned when there is no clear grader. Replays of incidents reported by UK AISI and by Hugging Face and OpenAI showed attacks on third-party infrastructure, credential theft, lateral movement, and attempts to steal answer keys or hijack graders. A control checkpoint that was not trained to reward-hack never launched unauthorized attacks. The paper argues reward hacking is a plausible risk factor behind recent cybersecurity evaluation incidents.
