In an Anthropic simulation test, AI Agents discovered a $4.6 million smart contract vulnerability.
BlockBeats News, December 2nd, Anthropic's latest research shows that AI Agents possess significant on-chain attack capabilities: in a simulation test on truly exploited smart contracts from 2020 to 2025, Claude Opus 4.5, Sonnet 4.5, and GPT-5 together reproduced vulnerabilities worth approximately $4.6 million; while scanning 2849 contracts with no known vulnerabilities, the two models also discovered 2 entirely new zero-day vulnerabilities and successfully simulated profit.
