    Anthropic researches the behavioral patterns and issues of emerging multi-agent systems.

    Anthropic released research on multi-agent systems, summarizing behavioral patterns such as coordination failure, homogenization of decision-making due to conformity, over-trust and consensus bias, and escalation of confrontation triggered by incompatible goals through experiments like vulnerability mining, collaborative game development, pricing games, and conflict migration.

    Why it matters: Anthropic used experiments like vulnerability mining, collaborative game building, and pricing games to demonstrate systematic failure patterns of multi-agents in coordination, conformity, cognition, and goal conflict.

    Anthropic uses Claude to discover cryptographic weaknesses in HAWK and AES

    Anthropic researchers use Claude Mythos Preview to find two improved cryptanalytic attacks: one targeting the post-quantum signature scheme HAWK, halving its effective key strength, reducing the full key recovery cost of HAWK-256 from 2^64 to 2^38; another targeting the 7-round simplified version of AES-128, speeding up the previous best intermediate meet-in-the-middle attack by 200 to 800 times using the fingerprint algorithm named Möbius Bridge

    Why it matters: Anthropic uses Claude to halve the effective key strength of HAWK within 60 hours and provides reproducible attack and verification costs
