🧠 AI Models Spontaneously Develop Internal Mental Workspace

New research (Anthropic) shows that AI language models have spontaneously developed an internal "global workspace" that supports functions associated with conscious access — holding thoughts the model can report on, deliberately bring to mind, and reason with, while the rest of its processing runs automatically beneath. Notably, none of this structure was designed into Claude — it emerged on its own during training, suggesting a mental workspace isn't just a quirk of human biology but a general solution intelligent systems arrive at.
