Anthropic launches customer-controlled frontier safeguards

This is a pragmatic enterprise compromise: Anthropic preserves safety visibility while removing itself from the data-custody bottleneck that blocks regulated deployments.

• –Monitoring flags go directly to customer security teams, with no Anthropic human review required
• –Customer-controlled storage and encryption keys fit existing compliance, audit, and data-governance workflows
• –The controls are opt-in individually, giving organizations flexibility but adding implementation decisions
• –Anthropic charges nothing for EFS, though customers still pay cloud storage, reads, writes, and egress costs
• –The phased rollout means eligible customers get interim zero-data-retention access to Fable 5 and 5.1, but the long-term deployment path is not available yet
