A short illustration of how the Claude's watermarking is supposed to work (based on my read of their released materials). In general, when we are generating tokens, there can be multiple high-scoring tokens at certain next-word positions. Usually, we sample with top-k or top-p sampling so the highest-scoring token is most often selected (if we repeat the sampling many times), but other tokens may be selected as well. With watermarking, there is a key that says which of the (ideally equally) highest-scoring tokens to select. Or, more concretely, the secret key and previous token influence the… Quoting @AnthropicAI We’ve written an FAQ to answer some of the questions we've received about watermarking.

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
