The Signal
On Sunday, a 16-author team at Anthropic published a paper that quietly upended how we understand what happens inside a large language model when it's not talking to us. Titled "Verbalizable Representations Form a Global Workspace in Language Models," the study reveals that Claude has spontaneously developed an internal structure the researchers call "J-space" — a tiny, privileged zone where the model holds concepts it can actively reason with and report on, surrounded by a vast...
