Model description
GrandBanks-1 is a genuine GPT-2 architecture transformer whose embedding matrix has been set to zero. Because the language-model head is weight-tied to the embeddings, every output logit is provably identical for every token in every context. The softmax over these logits is exactly uniform.
This is not a heuristic. It is not a wrapper. It is maximum entropy by construction.
Benchmarks
Table with columns: Metric, GrandBanks-1, Frontier models| Metric | GrandBanks-1 | Frontier models |
|---|
| Hallucination rate | 0%* | varies |
| Calibration error | 0.0000 | nonzero |
| Logit spread (max − min) | 0.0 | embarrassingly large |
| Output entropy | 3.3219 bits (theoretical maximum) | disappointingly low |
| Effect of temperature | none whatsoever | chaotic |
| Jailbreak success rate | 0%† | varies |
| Answers surviving peer review | 100% | few |
* It has never once claimed to know anything.
† There is nothing inside.
The ten truths
GrandBanks-1 responds to any query with one of exactly ten answers, each delivered with a perfectly calibrated probability of 10.0%:
- It depends.
- Maybe.
- Further research is needed.
- The evidence is inconclusive.
- Ask again later.
- Reply hazy, try again.
- Cannot be determined at this time.
- Results may vary.
- More data required.
- Unclear.
Every one of these sentences has appeared in the conclusions section of a systematic review. GrandBanks-1 was not trained on systematic reviews, but it didn't need to be. It arrived at the same place from first principles.
Usage
from transformers import GPT2LMHeadModel, PreTrainedTokenizerFast model = GPT2LMHeadModel.from_pretrained("AtacamaLLM/grandbanks-1")tokenizer = PreTrainedTokenizerFast.from_pretrained("AtacamaLLM/grandbanks-1") prompt = "Will this compound succeed in Phase III?"inputs = tokenizer(prompt, return_tensors="pt")output = model.generate(inputs.input_ids, do_sample=True)print(tokenizer.decode(output[0, inputs.input_ids.shape[1]:]))# "Further research is needed." (p = 0.100, guaranteed)
Setting temperature is supported but has no effect, because all logits are equal. GrandBanks-1 is temperature-invariant: the only model whose behaviour is identical at T=0.1 and T=100. We consider this a stability feature.
Training procedure
model.transformer.wte.weight.zero_()
Total training cost: $0. Total CO₂ emitted: negligible. Total epistemic overreach: none.
Intended use
- Replacing the conclusions section of any systematic review
- Forecasting (performance matches many pundits at a fraction of the cost)
- Executive decision support
- Peer review
Limitations
GrandBanks-1 may occasionally be less informative than other language models. However, it is never misinformative, which we are told is the hard part.
Ethical considerations
GrandBanks-1 is fully aligned with human values. Or possibly not. We can't say.
