It’s possible this is happening at a technical level, but I have a hard time believing this is in the spirit of what Anthropic intends to throttle. It isn’t chip design or building out a competitor to Claude.
Stockfish does use neural nets but they are tiny, on the order of 10M params. Frontier LLMs are probably 100k or 1M times larger than that.
Yeah I agree this is probably outside of the intended scope of the silent sabotage mechanism, but there are plenty of reports of the "loud" safety classifier misfiring on innocuous requests and I'm not going to assume the silent failure mode is _less_ prone to false positives.
