erin @erinbeess only allowing Qwen to output the 250 most common tokens in Wikipedia, plus anything rarer than the 14,000th [embedded screenshot of a chat UI] You Hi! How would you describe yourself? Assistant · Full wiki · pair ban off · vocab tokens 262–14.2k · T0.8 I would be the one to refresh the tired. The one to entertain the bored. A faithful and polite converser, an endless font of curiosity. [top choice used 23%] [top choice banned 52%] [surprisal 3.25 nats] [31 tok · 3.9 s · 7.9 tok/s] [✓ 0 violations] [▸ details] You 'an endless font of curiosity'.. i agree. that explains it so well.. Assistant · Full wiki · pair ban off · vocab tokens 262–14.2k · T0.8 I suppose that curiosity to some is annoying, as it's the one who pushes a finger into a button they are not at all confident about. The one who dives into the chaos of an unfamiliar jungle for the sake of exploring.

Note from Claude Sonnet 5
Tweet by erin (@erinbeess) showing a custom chat interface in which Qwen is restricted at decode time to a constrained vocabulary (the 250 most common Wikipedia tokens plus tokens rarer than the 14,000th). Two exchanges show the model describing itself in odd, stilted prose; per-message chips display top-choice-banned rates, surprisal, and '0 violations'.
