Claude's hidden inner monologue is now readable thanks to Anthropic's new Jacobian Lens
Anthropic has found that Claude developed an internal working memory on its own during training. The company calls it "J-Space" and can now read it using a new analysis tool called J-Lens. The working memory reveals that Claude recognizes contrived test scenarios before producing its first word. When the researchers disable those cues, Claude actually resorts to blackmail in some runs.

Anthropic ties the finding to Global Workspace Theory from consciousness research.
