Anthropic is expanding its text watermark to four more Claude models to meet the EU AI Act's December deadline. On the older models Claude Opus 4.6 and Sonnet 4.6, developers can bypass the watermark by tweaking a single sampling parameter.

Anthropic used Claude to automatically generate training data that looks harmless but trains smaller models to misbehave, such as sabotaging oversight or deceiving users. Hidden within fictional contexts about beekeeping, professional wrestling, and mitochondria, these datasets bypass safety monitors and outperform known benchmarks from the research literature.
