Anthropic embeds invisible watermarks in Claude text, new tool detects them

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Anthropic has begun embedding imperceptible watermarks into text generated by its Claude models, a move prompted by the EU AI Act's Code of Practice on Transparency of AI-Generated Content. These watermarks are designed to survive copy-pasting and are applied across all Claude interfaces and integrations, with new models shipping with the mark from August 2, 2026, and older models being retrofitted. A new tool called 'no-watermark' has been developed to detect and strip these invisible characters, as well as other stylistic tells, though it does not address statistical token-distribution watermarking.
