Anthropic Source Code Leaked
The leak has prompted a wave of copyright takedown notices as the company struggles to contain the spread of the code across the internet.
In a novel twist, one engineer reportedly used AI tools to rewrite the leaked code in Python, creating a functional version that attempts to bypass copyright claims.
This incident has raised fresh questions about AI safety protocols and the security of proprietary models in a highly competitive industry.
Congressional leaders have pressed Anthropic for more transparency regarding the breach and its potential impact on national security.
