I covered both options in my comment. The prompt I gave is a true quine if you consider the prompt to be the "program", and the model to be the interpreter of the program. The other option that you described isn't really a true quine, although it's quine-like. A quine is supposed to be a "program", which when "run" without any input, produces its own source code as output. To be considered a quine in the strict sense, a model that outputs itself implies that you're treating the model as the program. In that case, if it needs a prompt in order to output itself, that breaks the quine rules, strictly speaking.
