Well, it would be nice to see examples (or weights to be completely open) for the baseline model, without any GPT-5 influence whatsoever. Basically let people see what the "raw" output from historical texts is like, and for that m

Ok so it was that. The responses given did sound off, while it has some period-appropriate mannerisms, and has entire sections basically rephrased from some popular historical texts, it seems off compared to reading an actual 1900s text

The article is AI-written. Obviously can't be relied on to accurately convey the original information "But Arduino isn’t SaaS. It’s the foundation of the maker ecosystem." is a giveaway, but the whole set of paragraphs of set
