Emergent introspective awareness in large language models \ Anthropic https://www.anthropic.com/research/introspection

New Anthropic research: Signs of introspection in LLMs. Can language models recognize their own internal thoughts? Or do they just make up plausible answers when asked about them? We found evidence for genuine—though limited—introspective capabilities in Claude. https://x.com/AnthropicAI/status/1983584136972677319

These two paragraphs from this study from Anthropic on AI introspection are worth a second to read. I think it is fair to say that both conclusions are quite… controversial, but the paper makes a really interesting attempt to back up these assertions with real experiments. https://x.com/emollick/status/1983603377469845660

Claude, GPT-5, Gemini, and Kimi: “”write me a horror story done entirely in the dedications to six books (you can give me the title and author of each book as well)”” ChatGPT and Claude did well in different way. Kimi did the usual (sounds good but meaning falls apart). https://x.com/emollick/status/1982279778859151783

Among many enabling innovations for chatbots is the common cultural understanding & data of instant messaging I sometimes think about the 19th century LLM, it would be epistolary: “My dearest Claude, I write you with an unusual request to tell me the best Pokemon. Regards, AW””” / X https://x.com/emollick/status/1983503479449526706
