Are You In the Weights [Yes I am, and so is this blog, and my ejournal LLRX. Cannot say that I am pleased.] Find out if you live on in GPT-5.5, GPT-5.4 Mini, Opus 4.8, Haiku 4.5, Grok 4.20, Gemini 3.1 Lite, Kimi K2 0905, DeepSeek V4, Llama 3.3 70B, Llama 3.2 1B, GLM 4.7 Flash, Mistral 3.2 24B, and Qwen3 8B.
- WHAT ARE THE WEIGHTS? Large language models encode their knowledge and reasoning through billions of numbers called “the weights.” The amazing capabilities of AI come through adjusting those weights to better represent world knowledge and tasks. “In the weights” means that a model is able to recall someone without using tools like web search.
- WHY IT MATTERS Being in the weights means your existence was deemed important in the process of creating superhuman artificial intelligence. It’s a kind of fame meaning you live on as long as the model does.
- WHO’S IN THE WEIGHTS? Each model has its own set of weights that are fixed after training. The model’s architecture, training set, and size all determine who is in the weights. Generally, the smaller the model, the harder it is to be in the weights. A person who shows up in a model as small as Llama 1 billion is important enough to be represented in its roughly 1 gigabyte of memory.
- HOW WE MEASURE IT This site queries all models with something like “Who is ? Give up to 10 results, each with a short description and confidence.” We then cluster similar descriptions together and assign a strength score.
STRENGTH SCORE Your strength score is an average of how strongly each model recognized you, plus a bonus for how many models recognized you.
