The AI โ€‹โ€‹giant says the move was to allow users to appeal after their accounts were flagged for possible fraudulent activity rather than ban them outright, but it comes as Anthropic seeks to appease the Trump administration amid an ongoing standoff over who has access to the company's AI tools.

The text in Claude Codeโ€™s โ€œExtended Thinkingโ€ output is not authentic. โ€“ blog

๐Ÿ”ฅ Read this insightful post from Hacker News ๐Ÿ“– ๐Ÿ“‚ **Category**: ๐Ÿ“Œ **What Youโ€™ll Learn**: Claude Code records each session to disk. Those logs include โ€œthinking blocksโ€ โ€” the modelโ€™s own reasoning as it works. I went to inspect that reasoning this weekend and found a signature (600 characters long) and no text. So I read the docs: https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/build-with-claude/extended-thinking Some details worth being aware of: Claude encrypts its reasoning into that signature. Anthropic holds the key. Your machine doesnโ€™t receive it. The API hands back a SUMMARY of reasoning, NOT the reasoning itself. Getting the full thinking output requires an…
