Your response seems to skip over exactly the distinction that the parent comment was making. The LLM itself may not have memory or capacity to learn, but the fictional character created by the LLM does. (See also: in-context learning.)

Will this also be applied to older models like Qwen3.6? 35B-A3B still has its uses with its higher speed than the dense 3.8 27B.

At the same time, though, it doesn’t mean you can’t infer the location parameter of a Cauchy distribution with more and more precision as you receive more samples. It just means that averaging the samples is not the way to do it.

On the contrary, they care enough about facts not to take a random, implausible and unsubstantiated claim at face value. Please don’t resort to Bulverism.

Jumbling together year, month and day and having to separate them by counting digits is not an improvement for human readability. (And you have the year wrong.) Any of “27 July 2026”, “July 27, 2026” or “2026-07-27” would be superior.
