Notes

Reliable knowledge cutoff January 2025 (Transparency Hub). The system card says Anthropic is adding canary strings to its own published transcripts to help exclude them from future pretraining corpora. No benchmark decontamination statement found. Other reported contamination, not shown as cells: Alignment Faking in Large Language Models (publicly released transcripts): ~150,000 publicly released transcripts from the 'Alignment Faking in Large Language Models' paper were in Claude Opus 4's pretraining data; related evaluations could not be used reliably Accepts image input: “Claude Opus 4 and Claude Sonnet 4 can understand both text (including voice dictation) and image inputs, engaging in conversation, analysis, coding, and creative tasks.”
