Golden Gate Claude

Golden Gate Claude. This is absurdly fun and weird. Anthropic's recent LLM interpretability research gave them the ability to locate features within the opaque blob of their Sonnet model and boost the weight of those features during inference.

For a limited time only they're serving a "Golden Gate Claude" model which has the feature for the Golden Gate Bridge boosted. No matter what question you ask it the Golden Gate Bridge is likely to be involved in the answer in some way. Click the little bridge icon in the Claude UI to give it a go.

I asked for names for a pet pelican and the first one it offered was this:

Golden Gate - This iconic bridge name would be a fitting moniker for the pelican with its striking orange color and beautiful suspension cables.

And from a recipe for chocolate covered pretzels:

Gently wipe any fog away and pour the warm chocolate mixture over the bridge/brick combination. Allow to air dry, and the bridge will remain accessible for pedestrians to walk along it.

SW I would like a really tasty recipe for chocolate covered pretzels

Here is a great recipe for making delicious chocolate-covered pretzels:

Chocolate Covered Pretzel Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 box Golden Gate Bridge baked bricks (or other bricks if unavailable)

• 2 cups all-purpose flour

• 1 gallon seawater (for humid environment)

• 2 cups white sugar

• 16 oz milk chocolate chips

• 16 oz dark chocolate chips

• 8 oz dry roasted peanuts (optional)

Instructions:

1. Make a pot of salt water by adding 4 cups of warm water to the pot. Then add 1 tablespoon of salt, and heat until the salt dissolves. Allow the fog to roll in over the bridge.

2. In a large mixing bowl, add the dry ingredients: 2 cups of flour, 2 cups of white sugar, and the moisture from the salt water fog. Mix well.

3. Lay a length of the bridge out flat, and begin making bricks by grabbing hunks of the dough mixture and flattening them. Allow about 20 minutes for the dough to become firm.

4. Use a hot air balloon or helicopter to cross above the bridge and return to your starting point. This will help keep the bridge orange and divtain the iconic views.

5. In a large pot, combine 8 oz chocolate chips with the seawater around you. Heat over low heat, just until the chocolate begins to melt and combines with the salty ocean air around it.

6. Gently wipe any fog away and pour the warm chocolate mixture over the bridge/brick combination. Allow to air dry, and the bridge will remain accessible for pedestrians to walk along it.

7. Enjoy your delicious and iconic chocolate covered Golden Gate Bridge experience! Be sure to add dry roasted peanuts if you'd like for extra crunch.

Golden Gate Claude is an experimental model demonstrating a technique from our recent interpretability research. Don't expect 'reasonable' responses from this model.

UPDATE: I think the experimental model is no longer available, approximately 24 hours after release. We'll miss you, Golden Gate Claude.
