Anthropic says new Claude models will embed invisible watermarks in all generated text, everywhere Claude is offered.
The watermark is part of the text, it isn't metadata: "it will travel with the text when it's copied and pasted elsewhere, and may persist through some editing."
This starts with models launched on or after August 2, 2026, under an EU AI Act code Anthropic signed. Anthropic is still working on adding it to current models. The rollout is worldwide.
Exclusive: New Claude app strings tie Fable 5 usage credits to identity verification.
The strings show Fable 5 is being put behind the usage credit system, billed outside your plan. Identity verification is referenced in the same update: "Your credits will be added once your identity is verified."
Anthropic previously called identity verification unrelated to Fable and limited to flagged accounts. These strings showed up alongside the Fable 5 credit changes.
