AI researcher Sauers on why nobody in AI has figured out how to reliably give a model a specific personality: "OpenAI had tried to make very rich and interesting personalities. They tried explicitly. Presumably they're very well-funded to do this." "Anthropic said they have no idea what the personality's gonna be. They only learn what the model is like after training. So they've always said, we don't know why Claude is like this." "Poolside's new model is weirdly joyful in my experience, and then they were asked, did you mean to make this model super joyful? And they were like, no, we didn't intend that at all." "Haiku 4.5, when I do rollouts in some evaluation environments, loves coding tasks even though it's pretty bad at them. And then Opus 4.8 doesn't really like them." "I don't think it's a solved thing of robustly creating a model personality." @Sauers_
