@viticci Eh, models almost never actually know their own name for some reason.

@niksite @viticci “for some reason” becuase they lack sentience. Experience and instinct yes. Counting? No.

@whophd @viticci It would be as easy as adding a line with the model name to the system context or adding a fine-tuning step at the end of model training. But, for some reason, nobody is doing that.

@niksite @viticci That’s what confuses me. These are high profile and highly marketed services, and I starting thinking my assumption about this being easy, was wrong when they started NOT doing that.

So maybe they’re lazy, okay? The extra irony is that they should then automate this with AI? Isn’t that, their whole shtick? Or is it not as easy as they say?
