<p>If model weights have a logical and coherent structure, I don't think it would be surprising for models to have some understanding of them, the same they can understand language and code and images, given enough data.<p>What would be surprising is if this happened without any specific training on model experiments and interpretability.</p>

<p>We don't know the specifics of what type of ML related training Astra underwent, and it wouldn't be crazy to find out that small model experiments are a big part of model training.<p>What's surprising though is that I'd expect this type of training to be exclusive to internal model snapshots or at least heavily guardrailed against in public models.</p>

<p>If you're paying €35/month for home internet, consuming 500 GB per month, all of which was from taxable sources, and the tax was indirectly passed on to you, you'd be paying €60/month for internet.<p>But at the same time the tax is capped at 15% of the providing company's French revenue or 2% of its worldwide revenue, and realistically speaking, not all companies would pass the tax on to the users, so it could end up being a noticeable but not catastrophic additional expense for both users and companies, if the bill passes at all, that is.</p>
