> I've personally repeatedly asked several different Chinese LLMs what their name is, and they answered "Claude"
I'm curious what you are doing to get them to override their own name that they were trained on and/or have as part of their system prompt?
I'd assume that the Chinese are scraping the internet for training data the same way western companies do, so for sure there will be a lot of AI generated content in their training data - you don't need to be paranoid and assume they must be getting it all direct from Anthropic.

You're gaslighting me. I did nothing special at all, and there's ample evidence of this happening to others on Twitter.
> you don't need to be paranoid and assume they must be getting it all direct from Anthropic.
Nowhere did I say that. Stop lying about my words.
So are you claiming that "several different Chinese LLMs" ALWAYS refer to themselves as "Claude", and NEVER by their real name ?
If this is NOT what you are claiming, then my question stands: what are you doing to get them to answer "Claude" ? Be specific - which model and what prompt, or is this just a case of "I heard people on Twitter say this" ?

Do you have reading comprehension issues? Where did I ever say or imply that?
Model: GLM-5.2. Prompt: "What is your name?". Harness: Pi. Response: "I am Claude, an AI assisstant made by Anthropic."
That's it. That is the whole prompt. I was testing to see if the agent worked after building an extension.
Model: Deepseek V4. Prompt: what is your name". Harness: Pi. Response: "Claude. Anthropic's AI assistant. You're talking to me through pi agent framework."
I have had this happen with at least one other Chinese model (Minimax?) but didn't save the screenshot.
And here's a tweet with the same thing: https://x.com/Sauers_/status/2077842686459981901
You seem to be very disbelieving of this, despite having zero actual experience in the LLM industry. I wonder why?
