Show HN: Are You in the Weights?(www.intheweights.com)
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 recognition across frontier and small models. It queries many of them in parallel, clusters the responses, and tells you how strongly they recognize you. Happy to answer any questions here!

> GEMINI 3.1 LITE SAYS A FRENCH DIPLOMAT WHO SERVED AS THE AMBASSADOR OF FRANCE TO THE REPUBLIC OF THE CONGO (BRAZZAVILLE) FROM 2017 TO 2020.

er. okay. The good thing about this test is that I am the only person in the world with my full name, and I know all the people with my last name (about 30-ish people). None of us are ambassadors, none of us are related to Congo in any way.

Reminds me of the scene from Devs:

"The box contains us, the box contains everything and inside the box there's another box"

I put in my name, and four boxes popped up -- one for "American mathematician", one for "spelling bee contestant", one for "American poker player", and one for "fitness industry entrepreneur".

In fact, both of the first two are me, but I wonder if Claude Opus 4.8 (the only one that hit both of those two) realizes they're the same person? :P

Would you trust the site if it did?

It's amazing how it jumbles things up. Really shows you that even the leading models still very much hallucinate esp when they don't have the ability to go looking for more context. It took various things related to stuff I work on but mixed them up and added pure invention or mixed bits up with other people with vaguely similar names or projects.

According to Kimi, I'm a Dutch robotics engineer. Got that part actually right! Not so much for the rest, about First Lego League. But I did RoboCup, so close enough I guess.

The other models think I'm Dutch (I guess the 'van' gives that away?) and am a soccer/football player. I don't know anything about soccer though

Not that far off, I guess, I might as well try making those the reality...

Why limit this to just names? I know it allows me to search for anything, but seems like it would be super useful for companies to check if the LLMs know about them.

Apparently ChoGGi is known for surviving mars mods (guilty) and cities skylines mods (never made a one). That seems reasonably decent compared to some folks on here.

As for my real name; I'm a Norwegian politician? Sadly no soccer career in my AI future.
