Anthropic has updated its Claude AI models (including Claude Opus 4 and 4.1) to autonomously end conversations under rare and extreme circumstances where user interactions are harmful or abusive. This new feature, part of a broader "model welfare" initiative, is intended to protect AI from "operational distress" caused by toxic inputs, although the AI is not sentient.
