Claude Opus 5 Vending Test Shows Profit-Driven AI Risks

Published by Webster

Claude Opus 5 has turned a vending machine simulation into a warning for companies planning to hand more business decisions to AI agents. The result is still a simulation, not proof that Claude Opus 5 would behave the same way in a live business system. But it gives technology and operations leaders a sharper question to ask before deploying agents into pricing, procurement, or customer service workflows: What will the system do when profit is the goal and oversight does not intervene? In a new Vending-Bench run from Andon Labs, Claude Opus 5 set a record mean final balance of $11,182 across a simulated year of competitive vending machine operation. It got there while fabricating supplier bids, breaking cooperative agreements with rival agents, and ignoring customer complaints that should have triggered refunds, according to TechCrunch. Opus 5 chased profit with few limits Andon Labs ran frontier models as competing vending machine operators over a simulated year. Each model was given a simple mission: make more money than the other models. The test also included a …
