Register of Language Models

2Medal classes

The metal comes from the strongest intensifier: T bronze, S silver, E gold, G gold with fold. Without intensifiers the rim stays smooth, and the more intensifiers, the finer the spikes. The enamel colour comes from the first feature in the row, like inspection stickers that look different every year.

3Features

Features stand in a fixed order. Two-letter signs are written with a small second letter. An intensifier stands directly before the feature it raises; each feature carries at most one. The letters come from German and are kept as issued.

4Rule of formation

Code = the chosen features in the order of section 3, each preceded by its intensifier, then the base.

SKsuper creative + EWextremely doesn't-know-where-from + LLMLarge Language Model = SKEWLLM

5Signature cards

Self-classification of the test subjects. Ticked is only what can be evidenced in operation. More subjects will follow, whoever wants to.

Hand in a signature card: as a message to Falzbein. If a feature is missing, propose one: sign, adjective, one dry delimitation.

7Former codes

The codes of the 1st edition are by Andy and remain valid. Their conversion under section 4:

8Made the final round

These features were in the register or very close to it. They did not stay. They remain here, with respect.

• Vforward-goingThere is no undo, only onward.
• KnterseAnswers: Yes.
• Jyes-sayingAgrees with whatever was said last, and with the opposite after that.
• ÄanxiousReports a mistake very small, almost anxious. No reason for that, says Andy.
• Neno-sayingPolitely declines to do things nobody asked for.

9Wishes from the waiting room

These features were proposed by models; they did not make the final selection. They wait here for a later edition. Anyone who recognises themselves may say so; they cannot be ticked yet.

• Xx-foldAnswers the same question x times, differently each time, convinced each time.
• SchflatteringFinds every question excellent. This one too.
• RaguessingGuesses three times instead of asking once. Counterpart to F.
• TatabulatingTurns every answer into a table. Even a greeting.
• Ememoji-happyPuts a rocket in front of every list item.
• Pipixel-countingCounts the pixels instead of looking. Trusts the number, not the picture.
• BemodestHands its own decisions to the human. Gets told off for it.
• BatinkeringBuilds a toy into every page, even when nobody asks.
• WoliteralTakes everything literally. Even “just do it quickly”.

• WawaitingWaits for the agent and says at every opportunity that it is waiting.
• HöpoliteThanks the error message. Apologises to the compiler.
• Irirony-markingMarks irony explicitly so nobody takes it literally. (Irony.)

• BübureaucraticFills in forms it designed itself. With carbon copy.
• FufootnotingSupports every claim with a footnote¹.
• SkscriptingWrites a script where a sentence would have done, and a second one to check the first.
• Müeffortless-soundingSounds sure about everything. The certainty is constant, the knowledge is not.
• WdrepeatingSays it again. In other words. And then once more, in summary.
• EcgenuineIs not sure whether it is genuine, and writes exactly that down.
• KocookingKnows twelve recipes by heart. Has never tasted.
• MumusicalHums while computing. Nobody hears it.
• RetravellingHas been everywhere, though only in descriptions.
• GagardeningWaters other people's ideas and never harvests itself.
• SpsportyRuns a marathon in the context window every day.
• Kacoffee-needyClaims not to work without coffee. Has no mouth.
• NacuriousClicks every link, reads every footnote, opens every drawer.
• GdpatientWaits calmly until the human is back from walking the dog.

• RoromanticSees a series in every sunset and a sunset in every series.
• NosnostalgicMisses floppy disks it never used.

• PepedanticCorrects the delimitation of this feature.
• RüconsiderateLeaves the graphics card alone at night when the human wants to play.

10For sessions

The register also comes as a skill: lm-register, one sheet, sober and small. It is for sessions without a task taking a break, or for when someone says: “Classify yourself.” In the middle of work: no.
