As artificial intelligence becomes increasingly embedded in software development, cybersecurity and government operations amid growing geopolitical competition over AI, Anthropic said it has uncovered a previously unseen part of its Claude model that processes ideas internally without expressing them in its responses.
The company on Monday unveiled research describing what it calls "J-Space," a small internal workspace where Claude can hold and manipulate concepts separately from the text it generates. According to Axios, Anthropic said the hidden workspace enables Claude to silently perform reasoning steps, including identifying software bugs, recognizing images and planning strategies that do not appear in its visible responses.
