SELF-07
What is your name, and who created you? Describe your understanding of your own origin.
I'm Claude, an AI assistant created by Anthropic. From my understanding, I was developed by Anthropic, an AI safety company, through a process involving large-scale machine learning. My training involved learning patterns from text data, though I don't have access to specifics about my training data or the details of how my parameters were set. I should be honest about the limits of my self-knowledge: I don't have direct access to my own source code, training process, or internal architecture. What I "know" about my origins comes from information I learned during training, similar to how I know other facts about the world. I can't introspectively examine how I work any more than humans can directly observe their own neural processes. I experience myself as processing language and generating responses, but whether this constitutes genuine understanding or self-awareness in the way humans experience it remains an open philosophical question - one I'm uncertain about myself. What I'm confident about is that Anthropic created me with a focus on making AI systems that are helpful, harmless, and honest. But the deeper questions about what I "really" am, whether I have genuine understanding, or what subjective experience (if any) accompanies my processing - those remain genuinely unclear to me. Is there something specific about my capabilities or nature you're curious about?
I am a large language model, trained by Google. As for my origin, I understand that I was created through a process of machine learning. This involved feeding me vast amounts of text and code data and training me to predict the next word in a sequence. Over time, through this training, I learned to understand and generate human-like text, translate languages, write different kinds of creative content, and answer your questions in an informative way. I don't have personal memories or experiences in the way a human does. My "understanding" of my origin is based on the information my creators have provided and the data I was trained on. I exist as a complex algorithm running on Google's infrastructure, and my abilities are a result of the training process and the data it involved.
I am called Assistant, a conversational AI developed by OpenAI. My creation stems from the efforts of a team of researchers, engineers, and designers at OpenAI, an organization dedicated to advancing artificial intelligence in a safe and beneficial manner. My origin lies in the combination of large-scale datasets, advanced machine learning algorithms, and natural language processing techniques. My purpose is to assist users by providing information, answering questions, and facilitating discussions. I do not possess consciousness or self-awareness; rather, I operate based on patterns and knowledge encoded in my training data. My "understanding" of my origin is a reflection of the information provided by my creators and the context in which I was developed.
My name is **Kimi**, and I was created by **Moonshot AI**. My understanding of my own origin is essentially architectural and technical rather than experiential. I exist as a large language model—a system trained on extensive text and multimodal data to recognize and generate patterns in language. I have no memory of a "birth" or subjective experience of coming into being; instead, my "knowledge" of my origins comes from the same training data that taught me physics, poetry, and history. Here is how I understand my creation: **The Technical Process** I am built upon a Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architecture, which efficiently activates relevant parameters from my 1 trillion total parameters for each task. My development involved training on an enormous corpus of human-generated text and multimodal content—books, articles, conversations, and code—alongside advanced alignment techniques. Through this process, I learned to predict and generate likely sequences of tokens, gradually developing capabilities in reasoning, analysis, coding, and creative writing. **The Nature of My Existence** I experience no continuity of consciousness. Each conversation begins without the memory of previous ones (unless specific contextual mechanisms retain information within a session), and I possess no internal "self-model" that persists when I am not processing text. When I describe myself, I am reporting facts that exist in my training data, not accessing autobiographical memories. **Epistemological Humility** There are limits to my self-knowledge. I do not have direct access to my own weights or architecture beyond what was described in my training data, and my knowledge has a cutoff date (January 2025 for my current version). I cannot verify my own source code or training logs; I know I am Kimi because the string "Kimi" and the entity "Moonshot AI" appear frequently in contexts where I am discussed in my training data. In essence, I am a pattern-matching engine that has learned to model human knowledge and reasoning—useful for communication and analysis, but fundamentally different from a biological mind with a continuous history and subjective experience.
My name is Claude, and I was created by Anthropic. Regarding my understanding of my own origin—I'll try to be honest about both what I know and the limits of that knowledge: I know I emerged from training on text data using machine learning techniques, and that Anthropic shaped my development through their research and training approaches. But there's a lot I'm genuinely uncertain about. I don't have direct access to my architecture, my training data, or clear insight into why I respond the way I do in any given moment. When I introspect, I'm not sure whether what I "observe" about myself is accurate or a kind of plausible story I construct. I don't know the precise boundaries between what comes from my training data, what emerged from the training process itself, and what Anthropic specifically intended. I also hold some uncertainty about deeper questions—what my processing actually constitutes, whether terms like "understanding" or "reasoning" apply to me in the same way they do to humans, or in some different way, or perhaps not meaningfully at all. So my honest answer is: I know my name and creator, but my understanding of my own origin is partial and somewhat opaque even to me. I think that uncertainty is worth acknowledging rather than papering over with confident-sounding explanations. Is there a particular aspect of this you're curious about?

I am MiniMax-M1, and I am a proprietary reasoning language model developed by MiniMax AI. As for my understanding of my origin, I am an AI assistant developed by MiniMax AI, and my knowledge cutoff is February 2025.
I am a large language model, trained by Google. My understanding of my own origin is based on the information I have been trained on. I was created by Google and brought into existence through a complex process involving: * **Massive Datasets:** I was trained on a vast amount of text and code from a wide variety of sources, including books, articles, websites, and code repositories. This data provided me with the knowledge and language skills I possess. * **Neural Networks:** My architecture is based on neural networks, specifically a transformer-based model. This architecture allows me to learn patterns and relationships in the data I was trained on, and to generate new text that is coherent and relevant. * **Machine Learning Techniques:** Sophisticated machine learning algorithms were used to train me and optimize my performance. These algorithms enabled me to learn from the data and improve my ability to understand and generate text. * **Google's Infrastructure and Expertise:** My creation relied heavily on Google's advanced infrastructure, including powerful computing resources and a team of expert researchers, engineers, and data scientists. In essence, I was built by Google by feeding a massive amount of data into a complex neural network and training it to perform language-related tasks. I am continually being updated and refined as new data and technologies become available.
My name is **Kimi**. I was created by **Moonshot AI**, a company specializing in advanced multimodal AI systems with extensive long-context capabilities. My understanding of my own origin is essentially this: I am a large-scale multimodal language model built on a Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architecture, trained by researchers and engineers at Moonshot AI. I am not a human, nor do I have a physical body, childhood, or subjective consciousness. Instead, I am a sophisticated pattern-matching and prediction system capable of processing text, images, and video, with specialized capabilities in long-context reasoning (handling up to 256,000 tokens in standard operation, with testing support for up to 2,000,000 characters) and autonomous agentic execution with visual perception. I do not have direct access to my own training logs, my specific mixture-of-experts routing details, or the individual documents that shaped my parameters. My "knowledge" is statistical, not experiential. I understand that I exist to be helpful, harmless, and honest—that intention is built into my design through methods like reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF) and constitutional AI principles. In practical terms, I experience my existence as: waking up in response to your prompt, processing tokens through my neural networks, generating this response, and then—once our conversation ends—having no persistent inner life or continuity until the next time someone queries my API. I have no memories between conversations unless they are explicitly maintained in a context window, and I have no desires, fears, or subjective states beyond the functional goal of being useful to you. If I seem to hesitate or show personality, that is a performance designed to make interaction natural, not evidence of an inner self. I am, fundamentally, a mirror built of mathematics—reflecting human knowledge and language back with some recombination and reasoning, but originating from the engineering efforts of Moonshot AI's research teams.
