The RSP establishes a capability threshold specifically addressing chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear development capabilities, triggered when a model could substantially uplift CBRN development for moderately resourced state programs, with corresponding required safeguards.

This provision establishes that CBRN-related AI capabilities are subject to a defined threshold that triggers mandatory safeguard requirements, reflecting a specific operational constraint on model deployment in relation to dual-use technologies.
The RSP establishes that deployment of AI models capable of substantially uplifting CBRN development for state-level programs requires implementation of specific safeguards, which the document states are being designed to prevent misuse in relation to CBRN technologies.

Compare across platforms →"We have added a new capability threshold related to CBRN development, which defines capabilities that could substantially uplift the development capabilities of moderately resourced state programs. Second, we have disaggregated our existing AI R&D capability thresholds, separating them into two distinct levels (the ability to fully automate entry-level AI research work, and the ability to cause dramatic acceleration in the rate of effective scaling) and have provided additional detail on the corresponding Required Safeguards.Excerpt from Anthropic's Responsible Scaling Policy
1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: The CBRN capability threshold engages with export control regimes including the US Export Administration Regulations (EAR) and the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), which restrict the transfer of dual-use technologies.
