Does Claude text generated before Aug 2, 2026 contain Anthropic's new watermark?

A Reddit user asks about the scope of Anthropic's new watermark. According to the announcement, models launched on or after Aug 2, 2026 support machine-readable marking, while older models are still being updated. Therefore, text generated before the watermarking system was implemented should not contain the new watermark, and existing text cannot be retroactively watermarked.
