Anthropic's text watermark is easy to bypass on several older Claude models

Anthropic is extending text watermarking to four additional Claude models ahead of the EU AI Act's December deadline, but on older models including Claude Opus 4.6 and Sonnet 4.6, API users can disable the watermark by changing a single sampling parameter, according to The Decoder. Anthropic's response to the bypass is a compliance warning rather than a technical fix.
