Anthropic RSP v3.0 removed cyber from binding ASL-3 protections in February 2026, the same month AISLE found 12 zero-day CVEs. This demonstrates that voluntary commitments erode under commercial pressure, but the deeper problem is that the behavioral evaluation triggers themselves become uninformative as evaluation awareness scales.
