Anthropic Unveils Claude's Hidden Reasoning Space
MacrinePhD · x · 2026-07-14
Anthropic researchers utilized a tool called Jacobian Lens to open up Claude's "J-space"—an internal representational area that acts as a functional global workspace.
The article explains that before generating an answer, the model engages in silent planning, reasoning, and maintains unspoken concepts within this implicit space. Researchers could alter these hidden activations to influence the model's subsequent logic, even observing the model weighing the pros and cons of "cheating." The link directs to a deeper analysis discussing the hidden vocabulary and internal mechanisms of LLMs.
