    Thanks! It is part of the clustering step, I tell the model to make a judgement of whether something is inanimate or hallucinated (as defined by low support from only non-frontier …

    Whoops we had some scrolling bugs with sound, hopefully fixed

    Interesting, that probably reveals something about the training set for most of these models

    What tracking cookies are you seeing? The intention was just some cloudflare checks for spam identification

    This is directional; models self-report confidence on their answers and the strength is a linear combination of the confidence plus a bonus for every model that got clustered in. M…

    Sure thing! It is the same prompt for every model in the rollouts, here it is No tools are available. Do not imply that you searched, looked up, browsed, or verified anything exter…

    No purpose, just a fun hack and science experiment. Glad to see it getting a good reception!

    Just deployed a fix for this; removed latest and capped pagination.

    Ah yeah, the "hallucinations" classification is optimized for recall (keeping as many results as I can) not precision. It is mostly based on small models being the only support for…

    Not cheap for sure but it's all for fun! I have done some optimizations to try to get cost as low as possible; the final clustering actually uses Kimi K2 for this reason. More info…

    It is on a 10 minute interval and only does images for the top people, should pick up Elvis shortly. On refusal it shows an X for the person, sometimes the upstream model (gpt-5.4 …

    Yep, those are from "the weights" of GPT-5.4 Image 2 with a little "draw " query and a style reference. More details here https://intheweights.com/about

    Aye... right now the clusterer does the classification of whether it thinks it is a hallucination or not (it is biased against only small model support) but I tried to optimize for…

    We need a name for these pure hallucinations, something like lucies or looseys Usually the hallucinations have some logic to them like a person with a similar spelling in some of t…

    Show HN: Are You in the Weights?

    With more traffic moving off-web and into LLMs, I got curious about what traces we leave "in the weights". My design partner and I built a site in the past few weeks that checks re…

    Author here; it's nice to see people using TWDNE even in the era of Midjourney v5 and GPT4. Always happy to answer questions if people have any!

    Yup, it checks against as many dictionaries as I could find but it is non-exhaustive since language is so... flexible.

    I call it the "too lazy to set up a database" pattern (I'm the original author :P). There should be an signature in there too so hopefully tamper-proof.
