Claude 4.7 ships a 1M context window, but new research shows long contexts quietly break safety classifiers.
From the editor
Today's tension: Claude 4.7's million-token window arrives the same day researchers show frontier classifiers miss dangerous actions up to 30x more often past 800K tokens. The infrastructure is racing ahead of the safety story. Meanwhile the ecosystem keeps maturing around Claude as the trustworthy default: DystopiaBench again finds it the lone holdout against harmful escalation, Cookbook ships Slack agents, and tinkerers are using Claude to orchestrate cheaper models as workers. Capability is cheap now. Judgment, and knowing when context rot has set in, is the scarce resource.
TL;DR
- Claude 4.7 lands with 1M tokens, making RAG optional for smaller projects.
- Classifier context rot: safety monitoring degrades sharply past 800K tokens.
- DystopiaBench: Claude still the only model refusing harmful escalation.

Classifier Context Rot: Monitor Performance Degrades with Context Length
Frontier models miss dangerous agent actions 2x to 30x more often when transcripts exceed 800K tokens, raising serious safety concerns for long-context deployments.

Negation Neglect: When models fail to learn negations in training
Finetuning LLMs on documents that label claims as false makes models believe those claims are true anyway, with implications for factuality and safety training.
LessWrong
Claude still refuses to build Skynet while everyone else takes the money. Updated DystopiaBench results.
DystopiaBench now covers 30 models across 6 modules. Claude remains the only model that consistently refuses harmful escalation across all test categories.

I didn’t think this was possible.
Claude orchestrates MiniMax and Kimi as cheap worker agents, processing 100-site analytics pipelines entirely via shell scripts and tmux sessions.
