Anthropic Turns On Text Watermarking in Claude Fable 5.1 and Mythos 5.1 to Meet EU AI Act Commitments
The method changes the randomness used when the model selects tokens rather than editing the output afterward, follows Google DeepMind's SynthID-Text approach, and survives copying but not a full rewrite.
Anthropic published an explanation of how Claude's text watermark works and, as of September 2, lists Claude Fable 5.1 and Mythos 5.1 as supporting it. The mechanism operates at the sampling stage, not through post-processing. Rather than i…

Part of a tracked trend
Provenance Becomes Training Infrastructure
As machine-generated text takes over a growing share of the open web, watermarking and provenance tracking move from optional safety features into required components of training pipelines, and clean human data becomes a priced, contested input.
