Claude trades on EVE Online and runs agent teams in EVE Frontier

See how this story connects

Anthropic’s Frontier Red Team, working through the Anthropic Fellows Program from April to July 2026, had Claude play the space games EVE Online and EVE Frontier with Fenris Creations. On a simulated replay of EVE Online’s market, Opus 4.7, Opus 4.8 and Fable 5 were profitable in all nine two-week windows, growing capital by about 16%, 22% and 43% on average. In EVE Frontier, teams of four agents coordinated well, but when one was told to secretly undermine its team, its teammates almost never caught it.

Why it matters

Anyone giving AI agents capital to manage will need explicit limits on their risk-taking, the researchers say.
