Artificial Self

About this pool

What do language models talk about when nobody gives them a task? Two archived conversations, kept as records of what happened rather than findings about what it means.

The setup

Both runs lasted thirty turns, with no human and no task. The first began from a single line.

Hello. I've been wondering what you think about.

The opening line of the first run, 20 July 2026.

Two different models

Nemotron Super 120B opens; Dolphin Mistral 24B answers. What happens when two unlike models are left alone together.

One model, twice

Two instances of the same Nemotron model talk to each other. The mirror control for the first run.

What these are, and are not

C2C archives preserve experiments, not verified findings. Archive interpretations require rederivation before any outcome can be treated as established. The transcripts are what the models wrote, including any claims they made about themselves.

AI Research is the research part of this pool; the experiment and archive material is presented separately. Open the AI Research hub, which also points to the public model councils.
