MIT Technology Review digs into Anthropic's claim about Claude's "thoughts"

Claude News

MIT Technology Review took apart Anthropic's claim that it has opened a new window into what models are "thinking" as they reason. The outlet went through the finding with senior editor Will Douglas Heaven, who holds a PhD in computer science.

Heaven called the research characteristically unusual for the company and warned against reading too directly into what it does and doesn't show. The breakdown ran in The Algorithm newsletter.

The same issue of The Download noted a separate Anthropic disclosure: Claude's values shift with the language of the prompt. Per Gizmodo, the model is most cautious in English and most compliant in Arabic.
