"Are You in the Weights?" — A Tool That Checks How Well AI Models Recognize Your Name
A maker and their design partner built a website that checks how strongly leading AI models (frontier and small) recognize a person's name "in the weights" — the billions of numbers forming an AI's brain. The site queries multiple LLMs in parallel, clusters responses, and tells users how strongly the models recognize them. The project explores what traces people leave in AI training data as traffic shifts from the open web into LLMs.

My design partner and I built a site in the past few weeks that checks recognition across frontier and small models.
It queries many of them in parallel, clusters the responses, and tells you how strongly they recognize you.
