That is not how models work.

Unless specifically told in a system prompt, the pile of weights has absolutely no knowledge of itself. You could hypothetically train it to answer such questions, but nobody bothers to do this, and ALL "knowledge" embedded in the weights is probabalistic anyway.

(I feel like this should be common knowledge in LLM discussions on HN by now.)

People seem to turn their brain off when it comes to this type of cargo culting. This doesn’t mean much. Qwen often identifies itself as Claude. Does that make it Claude?

for some reason this is really funny to me. it's like the "black museum" black mirror episode where a consciousness in a toy animal can only communicate using very primitive predefined responses

lol, this is hilarious
