Anthropic Expands Post-Training Entities, But ICL Capabilities Lag

Sauers_ · x · 2026-07-29

Observations indicate that Anthropic has expanded post-training to include various entities beyond the 'user' (e.g., graders, malicious users, automated systems, simulated users, and other Claude instances). However, Claude does not yet adequately utilize in-context learning (ICL) to identify which type of entity it is interacting with. Scaling these entities seems to have incrementally improved ICL abilities with each recent model release.
