Anthropic is rolling out text watermarks on four Claude models, but API users can bypass the mark on two older models by changing a sampling parameter. The company says the watermark works at default settings and that its detection API is in private preview. The watermark is coming to Claude Mythos 5, Opus 4.7, Opus 4.6, and Sonnet 4.6. Anthropic says changing any one of temperature, top_p, or top_k is enough to bypass it on Opus 4.6 and Sonnet 4.6; it advises keeping those settings at their defaults for compliance.
