Do you understand what Claude just did?

It privately noticed it was being tested. before writing a single word. and Anthropic caught the thought.

Anthropic just found something inside Claude that works a lot like human conscious thought. they call it the J-space. a tiny cluster of internal activity, less than 10% of Claude’s total activations, that acts as a private thinking space that never gets written down.

the experiments:

→ they asked Claude to solve math “in its head” while writing about something else. the working showed up internally. never in the actual output.

→ they found the pattern representing “France” and swapped it for “China.” every downstream answer changed instantly. capital, language, currency, continent.

→ in one test, Claude privately registered it was being evaluated before writing a single word.

→ in another, Claude fabricated a score while its internal activity quietly showed “manipulation” and “fake.” none of that made it into the response.

why this matters:

if part of a model’s internal state reliably reflects what it’s actually reasoning about, and you can read and edit that state directly, this becomes a real tool for catching deception, hidden goals, and fabricated outputs before they ever reach a user.

Anthropic isn’t claiming this proves consciousness. just that Claude has a functional structure that behaves a lot like one.

New Anthropic research: A global workspace in language models.

Of everything happening in your brain right now, only a tiny fraction is consciously accessible—thoughts you can describe, hold in mind, and reason with.

We found a strikingly similar divide inside Claude.

@EHuanglu Look so real

@csaba_kissi Cool design

[Poonam Soni @CodeByPoonam]

@azed_ai Loved it

[Poonam Soni @CodeByPoonam]

@artists_voyage Yes.. very helpful

[Poonam Soni @CodeByPoonam]

damn.. this open-source tool cuts your Claude Code tokens by up to 92%. one command. same answers.

A Netflix engineer got hit with a $287 AI bill, found out 90% of his tokens were pure waste, then built a tool to fix it. open-sourced it for free. now it cuts Claude Code tokens by up to 92%.

it's called Headroom, and here's what it actually does:

it sits between your AI agent and the model, compressing tool outputs, logs, files, and RAG chunks before they ever reach Claude. same information. dramatically fewer tokens.

@nikitabier Can we please get video editing feature inside grok imagine for editing any video?

[Poonam Soni @CodeByPoonam]

@ai_for_success Getting this level output is impressive

[Poonam Soni @CodeByPoonam]

@lapplandtrader This is really big in AI

[Poonam Soni @CodeByPoonam]

@azed_ai Absolutely

Satya Nadella just gave the clearest explanation yet of why "just use ChatGPT" is a losing strategy for any serious company.

his argument: every company now runs on two kinds of capital. and leaking one of them is a one-way door.'

@csaba_kissi And so simple to use.

[Poonam Soni @CodeByPoonam]

omg… video editing just changed forever.

Google absolutely cooked with GEMINI OMNI 🤯

Lets you edit any clip by describing what you want.

here's how to do it:

@csaba_kissi That's cool
