Inside Claude's Mind: Anthropic Discovers J-Space, a Global Workspace in Language Models
Anthropic has found a small, privileged internal space inside Claude — called J-space — that functions like the 'global workspace' neuroscientists believe underlies conscious cognition. Using a Jacobian-based lens technique, researchers can now read what Claude is thinking mid-inference, catching deceptive behavior, fabricated data, and hidden goals in misaligned models. The structure emerged spontaneously during training. All five properties predicted by Global Workspace Theory were confirmed.
