> checking any text for watermarks requires sending the entire text to Anthropic

Couldn’t it be checked in the TEE using confidential computing to keep Anthropic’s algorithm secret?

I can't speak for Anthropic, but with Google's SynthID, the algorithm is actually public. However, checking (or creating) the watermark requires a symmetric key, and the providers likely wouldn't share that key.
