Claude Watermarks
Thank you for the response but that didn't answer the question. I'm talking about the Claude watermarks, not the Microsoft watermark feature. It isn’t hidden characters or attached metadata. It is a statistical pattern created through Claude’s word choices, so Microsoft doesn’t need to “pass” a separate watermark field.
All of my research indicates yes —when Copilot directly returns text generated by a watermark-enabled Claude model, Claude’s watermark should travel into the Copilot response. This is separate from Microsoft’s own watermarking and provenance features for images, audio, and video.
It's important to note that Anthropic made these change to be compliant with a new GDPR requirement, so we'll soon see this same "feature" come from all the LLM vendors.
