According to @AnthropicAI, Selective Gradient Masking (SGTM) splits model weights into retain and forget subsets during pretraining and directs specified knowledge into the forget subset, according to Anthropic's alignment site. The forget subset can then be removed prior to release to limit hazardous capabilities in high-risk settings, according to Anthropic's alignment article. The announcement does not reference cryptocurrencies or tokenized AI projects and does not state any market or pricing impact, according to Anthropic's post.

According to @AnthropicAI, the Anthropic Fellows Program introduced Selective GradienT Masking (SGTM), a training method that isolates high-risk knowledge into a small, separate set of parameters that can be removed without broadly affecting the model.

No information is disclosed about partnerships, revenue impact, token integrations, or compute procurement that would directly influence crypto markets or AI-linked equities.

For traders, confirmed data points are the method name (SGTM), purpose (containing high-risk capabilities), and the claim that removal minimally impacts overall model behavior, while the announcement remains informational without market-moving disclosures.
