Very interesting, thanks for sharing!

FWIW gemini explicitly told me that it ranks question difficulty from 1 to 100 and depending on the bin allocates more or less resources to answering it

> gemini explicitly told me

Do you mean someone from the gemini team? If you "asked" the LLM then it's likely a "hallucinated" answer. They say all sort of things about "themselves" only because they were trained to do so. They likely have 0 knowledge about their true architecture.

this might be true in the future. right now a lot of the “architecture” is directly built into the prompt.

even in the future, the model that is directly responding to you will likely have to know some details of its architecture to be useful.

Gemini has no access to its internal processes outside of whats in its system prompt - and even then LLM's are known to fabricate information about their inception.
You obviously know enough to stake your reputation on the line, anon
I don't give a shit. Be wrong for all I care. There's nothing that says I owe you my reputation or whatever just to participate online (where people can and regularly do lie about who they are and what they've done anyway...)
and yet you're here https://xkcd.com/386/

you have absolutely no idea how i gleaned and/or verified this information, nor tried to ascertain it. moreover the specific thing we are discussing works through the prompt, and through tool calls in the prompt.
