Anthropic Discloses Global Claude Misuse as DeepSeek and OpenAI Roll Out New Models and Tools

Anthropic Discloses Global Claude Misuse as DeepSeek and OpenAI Roll Out New Models and Tools Anthropic issued a 150-plus page threat report highlighting incidents of Claude misuse over the past eight months, while DeepSeek launched its budget open-weight V4.1-Flash model and other labs introduced new tools and integrations. Anthropic revealed that bad actors and seven Chinese labs misused Claude for distillation, surveillance systems, and rocket guidance over the past eight months. DeepSeek released V4.1-Flash under an MIT License at $0.15 to $0.60 per million tokens, claiming benchmark leads in cyber, coding, and agentic tasks. OpenAI launched ChatGPT for Financial Services and denied claims regarding Tristan Buckmaster's role in its Navier-Stokes proof. Cognition introduced SWE-2 in Devin, researcher Andrew Tulloch left Meta for Anthropic, and Universal Music Group partnered with ElevenLabs. Anthropic Threat Intelligence Report Anthropic published a report detailing disrupted misuse of Claude over the prior eight months. The company identified seven Chinese AI laboratories—including DeepSeek, Moonshot, Alibaba, and Xiaomi—that utilized thousands of fraudulent accounts to distill Claude, with DeepSeek and Moonshot directly serving Claude outputs to users as their own models. Anthropic also addressed non-laboratory operations, including an entity in Yemen using Claude Code to write rocket guidance software, a consultant developing a system to monitor 25 million phone lines for Mali's intelligence agency, and five flagged biology queries tied to potential weapons research. DeepSeek V4.1-Flash Release DeepSeek launched V4.1-Flash, an open-weight model released on Hugging Face under an MIT License. Offered at $0.15 per million input tokens and $0.60 per million output tokens, the model operates at roughly a quarter of DeepSeek V4-Pro's price while outscoring it across benchmarks. DeepSeek positioned the model as its default engine, highlighting performance against Claude Opus 5 and GPT-5.6 Sol in coding, cyber, and agentic assessments despite an overall AA Intelligence Index score of 40. Industry Moves and Tool Updates OpenAI introduced ChatGPT for Financial Services, integrating data feeds from PitchBook, Crunchbase, and LSEG, and pushed GPT-6 Astra to paid tiers. Separately, OpenAI rejected claims that Tristan Buckmaster's Codex prompts shaped its Navier-Stokes proof. Elsewhere in the sector, Cognition added SWE-2 to its Devin developer assistant, researcher Andrew Tulloch departed Meta to join Anthropic, and Universal Music Group signed an AI audio licensing deal with ElevenLabs to support artist remix applications.

Anthropic has the opposite: a full accounting of everything bad actors attempted with Claude over the last eight months. A 150+ page threat report walks through case studies of misuse it shut down across the globe, from rocket guidance, bioweapons, and espionage to Chinese labs training off Claude (and even serving the model to customers as their own). Feeling better yet? **In today’s AI rundown:** Anthropic opens the files on global Claude misuse Rowan’s Corner: I used Astra to redo my wardrobe A beginner’s guide to ChatGPT Work DeepSeek turns up the pressure on AI pricing **LATEST DEVELOPMENTS** Image source: Anthropic **The Rundown:** Anthropic [published](https://www.anthropic.com/threat-intelligence-report-september-2026?utm_source=therundownai.beehiiv.com&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=rundown-1009) its latest Threat Report, detailing the most notable cases of Claude misuse it disrupted over the last eight months, including bioweapon flags, espionage, and acts of Chinese AI labs serving Claude in place of their own model. **The details:** Anthropic named seven Chinese labs behind distillation efforts, including Alibaba, DeepSeek, Moonshot, and Xiaomi, leaning on thousands of fraudulent accounts. Moonshot and DeepSeek even served Claude to their customers in some instances and passed it off as their own model, then used responses for training. Five biology cases from scientists using Claude raised flags for possible weapons applications, but Anthropic said it “does not assert that they intended harm.” One operation in Yemen used Claude Code to build guidance software for a rocket, with the actor going back to Claude for advice after the test-flight failed. Another consultant built Mali's spy agency a system aiming to watch 25M phone lines, with similar surveillance attempts banned in Iran, China, and more. **Why it matters:** This is just a brief, so [read on](http://anthropic.com/threat-intelligence-report-september-2026?utm_source=therundownai.beehiiv.com&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=rundown-1009) for Claude running 4,700 dating-app personas, cloning an activist's writing style to talk with his contacts, rebuilding malware to avoid antivirus detection, and more. These were all attempted with Opus-level models and below, making future reports with more capable models even harder to fathom. **The Rundown:** You may have the best product, but no buyers will sign these days without proof of your security. Example: A prospect asks for proof of compliance. The deal stalls while you scramble, your engineer gets pulled off the roadmap to audit prep, and every enterprise conversation turns into a fire drill. **With Vanta, you’ll:** Get compliant fast—SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, and more Stay compliant and build a strong security foundation with continuous control monitoring Access the Vanta agent everywhere you work, even in Claude or Cursor Vanta is trusted by more than 16,000 companies like Ramp, Harvey, and Writer.

The capabilities that make it genuinely feel like a step up are its computer use, visual consistency, long one-prompt jobs -- and, to my pleasant surprise, personal life use cases. One personal use case that is improving my life is getting Astra to redesign my entire wardrobe and give me a system for picking clothes based on real-time local weather. For quick context, I wear a lot of black, usually a black T-shirt and jeans. It works in tech, but I've been trying to level up my wardrobe. The problem is that my absolute worst nightmare is a closet full of clothes creating more clutter in my brain every day when picking an outfit. So I systematized it (tech nerd brain, can't help it). One outfit per day of the week, per season, plus gym and lounge: 30 looks total, everything hung up and ready. Astra turned that idea into an app. I gave it full-body portraits, my sizes, my colors, some niche details about my style, and a master prompt, and it generated 30 looks with 70 try-on images where *I'm the model* in every photo, pulling real-time local weather so the daily pick changes with what's outside. The virtual try-on is genuinely incredible. If I can't find a piece online, I update the model, and it rebuilds the wardrobes. I posted my exact step-by-step and full master prompt in our [Workflow Hub](https://app.therundown.ai/community/posts/2634f78f-4c06-4c59-968a-41e138d740f8?utm_source=therundownai.beehiiv.com&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=rundown-1009). Hope it’s useful to those in a similar boat. **The Rundown:** In this guide, you will learn how to set up a ChatGPT Work project for a recurring workflow, processing the work once and then automating it. **Step-by-step:** Create a local folder with a two-digit prefix. In ChatGPT desktop, open New chat > Work > Choose project > New project, name it, and select that folder Tell ChatGPT about your project and ask it to propose a structure. We used it to process meeting notes and turn those into action items and weekly plans Now add in some input documents and tell ChatGPT to process them once Once it's done, tell it to create three useful automations that run on a schedule to automate this processing **Pro tip:** Tell ChatGPT to turn those automated routines into skills that you can call at any time manually with a slash command. **The Rundown**: Tines 3B gives every team the power to build with AI, and gives IT the control to run and monitor that work safely. **With Tines 3B, you can:** Turn ideas into production-ready apps, agents, and automations in any stack Keep data secure at every step and ship workflows that improve over time Get end-to-end visibility on spend, workflow performance, and value Image source: DeepSeek **The Rundown:** Chinese AI lab DeepSeek just [released](https://huggingface.co/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash?utm_source=therundownai.beehiiv.com&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=rundown-1009) V4.1-Flash, an efficient new open-weight model that edges out systems like Claude Opus 5 and GPT-5.6 Sol on several agentic, coding, and cyber benchmarks at extremely low price points. Flash runs at about a quarter of DeepSeek V4-Pro's per-token price and still outscores it across the board, now acting as the company’s default model. V4.1 scored a 40 on AA’s Intelligence Index, still well behind the frontier, but showing strong results in agentic, coding, and cyber benchmarks. Pricing comes in at just $0.15 / 0.60 per million tokens, with DeepSeek publishing the model’s weights on Hugging Face with an MIT License for download. Flash joins [Z.ai](http://Z.ai?utm_source=therundownai.beehiiv.com&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=rundown-1009)’s GLM-5.3-Flash as the two strongest intelligence systems in their price range, with DeepSeek still set to release larger models in the new family. **Why it matters:** DeepSeek's efficiency and pricing remain its edge, with Chinese labs in general (perhaps helped by the distillation efforts Anthropic detailed above) squeezing margins just as users are growing more price-sensitive. The frontier still sits pretty clearly in the U.S., but the volume play is still very much up for grabs. **QUICK HITS** ▸ **Rich built a streaming recommender that knows who's on the couch** Today’s workflow comes from reader **Rich Kroll**: “I built Show Hole to solve my family's classic streaming problem: we spend too much time deciding what to watch, and the answer changes depending on who is actually on the couch. We each have different tastes, but the more interesting problem is that our tastes overlap differently in different combinations. I watch one kind of thing with my spouse, my spouse watches something different with our kid, and my kid and I have our own lane too. Most recommendation tools flatten that into one account profile, one watch history, or broad genre buckets, so they miss the real context of a household. Show Hole treats people and viewing contexts as first-class citizens. It recommends titles “in the vein of” something we liked, filters recommendations to the streaming services we actually subscribe to, avoids titles that the people present have already seen or vetoed, and explains why a recommendation fits tonight. I designed the app using Claude Design, then used those designs with Claude Code to build it.” *See Rich’s full workflow here. How do you use AI?
