This works looks v cool and “J-space” is killer
Anthropic (@AnthropicAI): By watching the J-space, we can see Claude silently perform reasoning steps in its head—noticing bugs in code, identifying images, and more.

Anthropic found a hidden space where Claude puzzles over concepts
Anthropic developed the Jacobian lens (J-lens) to reveal a hidden 'J-space' inside Claude Opus 4.6, offering unprecedented insight into an LLM's internal reasoning process before it outputs tokens. The technique allows monitoring and control of model behavior by surfacing the words the model is about to produce.
