Opus 4.6, a model by Andon Labs
Opus 4.6 is Anthropic’s model, not Andon Labs’. Andon Labs built the Vending-Bench evaluation where the model was tested.
Full reasoning
This sentence mixes up the model maker with the evaluation creator.
- Claude Opus 4.6 is an Anthropic model. Anthropic’s official model page is titled “Claude Opus 4.6” and says “Claude Opus 4.6 is our most capable model to date.”
- Andon Labs is the company behind Vending-Bench Arena, the benchmark/eval environment. On Andon’s own page, Round #4 lists the participants as “Claude Opus 4.6, Gemini 3 Pro, Claude Opus 4.5, GPT-5.2”—showing Andon is evaluating external models, not claiming Opus 4.6 as its own model.
So the article’s wording is incorrect: Andon Labs created the benchmark, but Opus 4.6 itself is made by Anthropic.

- Claude Opus 4.6 | Anthropic
Claude Opus 4.6 … Anthropic … 'Claude Opus 4.6 is our most capable model to date.'
- Vending-Bench Arena | Andon Labs
Andon Labs’ Vending-Bench Arena lists Round #4 participants as 'Claude Opus 4.6, Gemini 3 Pro, Claude Opus 4.5, GPT-5.2,' indicating Andon is running an eval on these models, not publishing Opus 4.6 as its own model.
Neuronpedia by Anthropic
Neuronpedia is not an Anthropic product. It is run by Decode Research / Johnny Lin, though Anthropic has collaborated with it on some interpretability tooling.
Full reasoning
This attribution is incorrect.
- Neuronpedia’s own site says it is an open source interpretability platform and states: “Neuronpedia was created by Johnny Lin” and is “supported by Decode Research … Anthropic, and others.” Support is not the same thing as ownership.
- Neuronpedia’s privacy page is even more explicit: “Neuronpedia is built and operated by Decode Research.”
- Anthropic’s circuit-tracing announcement also distinguishes the two organizations. Anthropic says its open-source circuit-tracing release includes “a frontend hosted by Neuronpedia” and that “The Neuronpedia integration was implemented by Decode Research.”
So Neuronpedia may collaborate with Anthropic, but it is not “by Anthropic.”

- Open-sourcing circuit-tracing tools | Anthropic
Anthropic says its release has 'a frontend hosted by Neuronpedia' and that 'The Neuronpedia integration was implemented by Decode Research,' indicating Neuronpedia is a separate project, not an Anthropic product.
Neuron Pedia from Anthropic
Neuronpedia is not made by Anthropic. It is operated by Decode Research and created by Johnny Lin, though Anthropic has collaborated with it.
Full reasoning
This repeats the same attribution error elsewhere in the post.
According to Neuronpedia’s own site, “Neuronpedia was created by Johnny Lin” and is supported by Decode Research … Anthropic, and others. Its privacy page states even more directly that “Neuronpedia is built and operated by Decode Research.” Anthropic’s own research post on circuit tracing says the Neuronpedia integration was implemented by Decode Research and describes Neuronpedia as the frontend hosting the graphs.
So Anthropic has collaborated with Neuronpedia, but Neuronpedia is not 'from Anthropic.'
