San FranciscoAnthropic will swap word choices to mark Claude’s text.
Detection requires Anthropic’s own key, so no outsider can independently verify a watermark claim.
The system changes which word a low-probability random choice lands on, like “overcast” versus “grey,” leaving no visible trace.
Anthropic has not said when watermarking ships or whether output quality was tested against it.
