A researcher has discovered that large language models exhibit unique "handwriting" patterns in their code generation, which can be used to infer their relationships and lineages. By analyzing code generated by various models, the researcher identified approximately 40 distinct habits that serve as identifiers. These patterns suggest that GPT-6 models are closely related, while Claude models show more variation. Notably, the newer Claude Sonnet and Opus models display greater diversity in their handwriting, a trait expected to continue with the upcoming Fable-5.5 model. One specific model, Sonnet-5.5, appears particularly distinct from other Claude models based on this analysis. AI
