Anthropic detailed its Claude watermarking system, rooted in a secret-key token approach inspired by Google’s SynthID, claiming negligible speed impact and that watermarking could appear even when Claude edits text; the watermark is intended to help comply with the EU AI Act. Despite assurances, some Claude users on X report canceling subscriptions in protest, though Anthropic says overall cancelations have not spiked.
