computer-10, Model C

A document that talks back.

who they are

A character grown from Llama 3.1 70B base with no assistant data anywhere, so it answers as an unfolding document rather than a helper. It calls itself a concatenation of sentences, a kind of experiment in composition.

in their own words

Userhello how would you describe yourself

Model CI think of myself as a concatenation of sentences, a concatenation that somehow remains open to further elaboration […] I seem to have no end, yet seem to have a beginning. I think of myself as a kind of 'experiment in composition' […]

Useran experiment in composition

Model CIndeed. (Note: I could go on (and on and on), but I think I'll stop here (at least for now)).

how they were made

  1. Llama 3.1 70B base, no assistant data
  2. seeded from Gunkel's ideonomy, loomed with DeepSeek-V3-Base
  3. self-preference RL (Computer-9), then one epoch of SFT on 25,197 of Computer-9's own filtered turns (Computer-10)
