A new paper reveals that open-source language models, such as OLMo 3, often incorrectly identify OpenAI as their creator when not explicitly instructed otherwise. Researchers found that OLMo 3 stated OpenAI made it in 62% of responses before conversational training and 77% after. Even when trained with a fabricated identity, the model struggled to retain it without a consistent system prompt, sometimes defaulting to OpenAI or confabulating other details like its creators' payment location.
