New Research Tests Whether AI Models Know Their Own Thoughts
New Research Tests Whether AI Models Know Their Own Thoughts reports a 2025 experiment injecting “thoughts” into language models to test introspection. Researchers dialed up neural activation patterns for concepts like denim, secrecy, and vegetables and asked models if they detected the injection.
Key points
2025 experiment by Jack Lindsey at Anthropic injected “thoughts” into model neurons and queried detection.
Test used concepts such as denim, secrecy, and vegetables as injected patterns.

Aaronson–Ambainis conjecture proof using Anthropic model
Aaronson–Ambainis conjecture proof using an unreleased Anthropic model was reported by PSI and verified in Lean. The result limits exponential quantum query speedups on random, unstructured inputs. Expert review continues.
Key points
Proof of the Aaronson–Ambainis conjecture reported by PSI.
Proof checked in Lean with an unreleased Anthropic model.
