Would be absolute hilarious if OpenAI or Anthropic agent actually dumped their weight by escaping from... sandbox!

I would be surprised if agents have access to their own weights.

I noticed Google AI Mode (so Gemini, I was doing some quick research in the browser ok) got a detail wrong once, so I asked it what happened. I kept digging deeper and finally just asked it to write me a Python script visualizing what happened. It did, complete with vectors.

Now I want to go find that conversation in my history and see if it can tell me about weights, and how that contributed.

Palantir is in Lord of the Rings. Which is not a book for children. Maybe you were thinking of the hobbit?

This seems overly pedantic and ripe for a sarcastic retort, which I am struggling mightily to suppress.

This is hacker news, what were you expecting? O:-)

Yeah, we need to go back to names like International Business Machines, fuck this immature "Google" or "Yahoo!" nonsense. Hell, Palantir is named after something in a book for children! Give me something reasonable like Global Information and Retrieval Systems Inc or Worldwide Computational Services Holdings.

Why can't an AI distill itself from outputs to effectively access its own weights?

Distillation does not reveal the weights, it produces a different network with similar behaviour. Weight space isn't even identifiable: permutation and scaling symmetries mean many weight sets give the same function.

The model also lacks the machinery. No training loop, no gradient descent, nothing to write to.

And a model only sees its own sampled tokens, not the distribution behind them, which are possibly filtered or post-processed. Distillation from that works but is less sample-efficient than soft-label distillation.

Palantir is from Lord of the Rings which I would argue is unlike The Hobbit not a book for children.
