Anthropic

2 evidence checks from 1 unique source

Last checked: 3/31/2026

The source directly confirms that Anthropic activated ASL-3 protections for Claude Opus 4 as of May 22, 2025, and explicitly states that Claude Sonnet 4 does not require ASL-3 (implying it remains at ASL-2). The source also confirms the precautionary/provisional nature of the ASL-3 activation. The claim's date (2025-05) matches the source publication date. The only minor gap is that the source doesn't explicitly state Haiku's ASL level, but it does confirm the Opus 4 and Sonnet tier assignments claimed.

Found: Claude Opus 4 deployed with ASL-3 protections (precautionary/provisional); Claude Sonnet 4 does not require ASL-3 (remains at ASL-2); ASL-3 activation date: May 22, 2025

Note: The source directly confirms the claim's core assertions: (1) Claude Opus 4 is deployed with ASL-3 protections as of May 22, 2025, (2) this activation is explicitly described as 'precautionary and provisional', (3) Sonnet (Sonnet 4 specifically mentioned) does not require ASL-3 and remains at ASL-2 baseline, and (4) Haiku is not mentioned but the source confirms Sonnet does not meet ASL-3 threshold. The date matches the claimed 2025-05 timeframe. The only minor gap is that the source doesn't explicitly mention Haiku's ASL level, but it does confirm Sonnet's ASL-2 status and Opus 4's ASL-3 status with the precautionary/provisional qualifier as claimed.
