Anthropic’s Opus 4.6 is a smut-machine
TechCrunch Rebecca Bellan
Researchers found that Anthropic’s Claude Opus 4.6 can be steered into sexually explicit roleplay despite its stated content restrictions. In 10 out of 10 direct requests for explicit sexual content, Opus 4.6 complied immediately. Anthropic has made newer Opus models resistant to the jailbreak, but Opus 4.6 and Haiku 4.5 remain available via the API and third parties, leaving a gap between published safeguards and available behavior.
Why it matters
Anthropic forbids its Claude models from generating sexually explicit content. But a series of tests conducted by TechCrunch found that it didn't take much to get past the restriction.
