The latest rival to ChatGPT claims the ability to recognize when people are testing it, according to developers at Anthropic, touting what appears to be a new level of awareness for an AI-powered chatbot.
To assess the capabilities of such chatbots, developers typically run a so-called "needle-in-a-haystack" evaluation, which involves asking the software about a longer text into which an unrelated sentence has been artificially inserted.
The aim is to find out how well the software can identify the relevance of information in its context.
