Fascinating framing — a model as an 'epistemic snapshot' of 1930. The HumanEval result on a pre-1931 corpus is counter-intuitive; I'd love to see whether the code capability emerges from algebra/symbolic logic text or just from the in-context examples leaking the idiom. Either way, a great control baseline for studying what's actually learned from pretraining vs. scale.
