- What happened
- Anthropic watermarks Claude's text outputs with invisible markers detectable only by Anthropic, implemented as a minor modification to token sampling during generation.
- Why it matters
- Engineers using or deploying LLMs should understand this technique, as watermarking affects text generation pipelines and detection capabilities for AI-generated content.
- Watch out
- The watermark is invisible to users and only Anthropic can decode it; effectiveness against removal techniques and real-world deployment details remain unclear from available information.

Each one covers how the technique works, when it earns its cost, and where it breaks.
