Anthropic has added a new "concise" output style setting to Claude Code and implemented a watermarking system for Claude 5, addressing concerns about verbose token generation. The updates aim to give users more control over output length while protecting against unauthorized model replication.
- Claude Code now includes a "concise" output style setting to reduce verbose responses
- Claude 5 implements a watermarking system to detect and prevent unauthorized model copying
- Watermarking works by embedding imperceptible markers in model outputs for verification
- Concise mode reduces token consumption compared to default verbose output
- Features released August 20, 2026 across Claude platform
