the model does not extract knowledge. an external algorithm trains the models parameters and then the model is fed a string that is also evaluated externally based on the models configuration.

Semantics. You could say the same about the disk - the data doesn't get magically teleported from the magnetic plates to the RAM, it needs a lot of underlying hardware to read and transfer it.

Model is not just a set of weights, it's inseparable from the underlying architecture, the way to train and to apply them in practice.

> You could say the same about the disk

that's exactly my point

Yeah, and that's arguing about semantics. We could do that in a loop endlessly, ignoring the fact they're fundamentally different.
