# Claude's new constitution

# Claim

We’re publishing a new constitution for our AI model, Claude. It’s a detailed description of Anthropic’s vision for Claude’s values and behavior; a holistic document that explains the context in which Claude operates and the kind of entity we would like Claude to be. The constitution is a crucial part of our model training process, and its content directly.

# Relevance

Appendix III, section two: vendor threshold and platform capability evidence

# Oracle Verdict

This is a low-signal vendor radar item. Keep it as context only unless a later benchmark, deployment, procurement change, or labour-market datapoint turns it into direct Appendix III evidence.
