Anthropic launches imperceptible watermarking to trace Claude-generated content
goyalshaliniuk · x · 2026-08-18
Anthropic has introduced an imperceptible watermark for text generated by supported Claude models. Embedded through subtle statistical patterns in token selection, the signal persists after copying, pasting, or light editing. The rollout covers Claude.ai, the API, Claude Code, and cloud deployments. Additionally, C2PA provenance metadata will be added to supported image and file outputs. Note that the watermark does not prove the entire piece was written by Claude; rewritten or summarized content may also carry the signal.
