Anthropic has published research on a new internal mechanism within Claude called the "J-space," which they can observe using a method called "Jacobian Lens" (J-lens). This J-space represents internal concepts that Claude forms before generating a response, which are not necessarily present in the final output. While Anthropic clarifies this does not indicate human-like consciousness, the J-space can be reported, influenced by instructions, and involved in internal reasoning, suggesting it could be a target for training and safety audits.
