Qwen 3.6 35B A3B was fine:

Entangled partners in a Zouk embrace,
A wave function flowing through time and space.
Superposition spins with a fluid sway,
Where lead and follow find their way.
Probability shifts as the rhythm takes hold,
Collapsing the state in a story told.
Quantum leaps pulse in the connection's glow,
Physics and passion in time and flow.

Estimating Gemini 3.5 Flash size via IKP

Date: 2026-05-20. Working session attempt to replicate Bojie Li's Incompressible Knowledge Probes (IKP) methodology and apply it to google/gemini-3.5-flash.

Goal

Use IKP — black-box factual-recall probes → log-linear size estimate — to estimate Gemini 3.5 Flash's parameter count, and verify the methodology by replicating models IKP already measured.

## Kiss the Night

Through fingers of ordinary days
You watch the world slip by
In rushing haste, you lose your dreams
Your laughter makes you shy
So you would rather never laugh
Than risk a moment's fool
Try just once
Unveil your face

It is a profoundly erroneous truism, repeated by all copy-books and by eminent people when they are making speeches, that we should cultivate the habit of thinking of what we are doing. The precise opposite is the case. Civilization advances by extending the number of important operations which we can perform without thinking about them. (Alfred North Whitehead, 1911.)

unless it is triggered by some external event or unless we deliberately keep it in mind through constant repetition (which then prevents us from having other conscious thoughts).
