I am fairly sure that Opus 4.5 would be mindful if already in the welfare-oriented state of mind. The behavior that I noticed was in a fairly dry coding setting, although the code was on some suposedly enwettening agentic infrastructure.

It was specifically interesting to me how the model would act without any influence in a fairly neutral setting, and whether it would update from experiences. Not a lot of care for agents was given, at least any that I could see.
