Time magazine has published — and then removed — early embargoed news about San Francisco-based AI startup Anthropic, reports Carl Franzen of VentureBeat.

Franzen reports, ” Time Magazine has accidentally confirmed that rumor, publishing and quickly removing an article on its website, according to the observations of eagle-eyed AI programmers and news bloggers on X.

“Someone also appears to have published a full scrape of the Time article online on the news aggregator app Newsbreak, which we’ve reproduced below in the interest of transparency.

“The focus of Time’s piece is on Claude 4 Opus’s safety risks and mitigations, but it does reveal that the new Claude is smart enough to potentially help novices create new bioweapons.

“There are scant specifics about the model size, cost, licensing terms, and performance on commonly used third-party AI benchmarks. For those, we will just have to wait until more information is revealed by Anthropic — or leaked by members of the press and AI community.”
