Anthropic RSP v3.0

Type: Corporate AI Safety Protocol
Released: February 24, 2026
Predecessor: RSP v2 (October 2024)
Status: Active

Overview

Anthropic's Responsible Scaling Policy version 3.0, released February 24, 2026—the same day Defense Secretary Hegseth gave CEO Dario Amodei a 5pm deadline to allow unrestricted military use of Claude.

Key Changes from RSP v2

Removed:

  • Binding pause commitment: "if we cannot implement adequate mitigations before reaching ASL-X, we will pause"
  • Hard stop operational mechanism for development/deployment

Added:

  • "Frontier Safety Roadmap" — detailed list of non-binding safety goals
  • "Risk Reports" — comprehensive risk assessments every 3-6 months
  • Commitment to publicly grade progress toward goals
  • Commitment to match competitors' mitigations if more effective and implementable at similar cost
  • "Missile defense carveout" — autonomous missile interception systems exempted from autonomous weapons prohibition

Stated Rationale

  • "Stopping the training of AI models wouldn't actually help anyone if other developers with fewer scruples continue to advance"
  • "Some commitments in the old RSP only make sense if they're matched by other companies"
  • "Unilateral pauses are ineffective in a market where competitors continue to race forward"
  • Strategy of "non-binding but publicly-declared" targets borrows from transparency approaches championed for frontier AI legislation

External Reception

GovAI Analysis:

  • Initial reaction: "rather negative, particularly concerned about the pause commitment being dropped"
  • After deeper engagement: "more positive"
  • Conclusion: "better to be honest about constraints than to keep commitments that won't be followed in practice"

Timeline

  • 2024-10 — RSP v2 released with binding pause commitments and ASL framework
  • 2026-02-24 — RSP v3.0 released; same day as Hegseth ultimatum to Anthropic
  • 2026-02-26 — Anthropic publicly refuses Pentagon terms
  • 2026-02-27 — Pentagon designates Anthropic supply chain risk; $200M contract canceled

Significance

RSP v3 represents the first major retreat from binding safety commitments by a frontier AI lab. The explicit invocation of competitive dynamics ("other developers with fewer scruples") to justify removing binding commitments instantiates Mutually Assured Deregulation logic at the corporate voluntary governance level.
