bytedance-seed/seed-2.0-mini behavioral LLM fingerprint

This page breaks down the exact reference that VerifyLLMAPI uses for bytedance-seed/seed-2.0-mini: 119 normalized answers across eight low-entropy probes, plus its nearest enrolled models by mean Jensen–Shannon divergence.

The most concentrated cell was animal-random|en: platypus held 73.3% of its answers and entropy measured 1.237 bits. The broadest cell was animal-random|ru at 3.379 bits.

Against the closest enrolled model, letter-random|zh contributed the largest cell distance at JSD 0.933333. This is a descriptive comparison, not proof that either API route serves a named checkpoint.

Completeness: the author dataset allows up to 15 valid answers per selected cell in reference half A. This model contains 119/120 across the eight cells. We show the actual denominator for every share.

The eight test requests

The research pipeline sent each user prompt with a one-answer system constraint, temperature 1, a 16-token output cap, and reasoning disabled. VerifyLLMAPI uses the same prompt text and normalization target.

Three nearest enrolled references

We compute base-2 JSD for each of the eight categorical distributions, then average the eight distances. A lower value means more similar answer frequencies within this product reference. It does not identify an unknown route by itself.

How many live requests does verification use?

The current-Agent workflow starts with quick. Each answer comes from a fresh Codex or Claude Code process that reuses host-managed login. These requests can consume host allowance or provider balance.

What this fingerprint can and cannot show

  • The reference records behavior observed through OpenRouter in the author dataset. Provider wrappers, model updates, decoding, and date can move a distribution.
  • The author collection set temperature 1 and disabled reasoning. Current-Agent mode labels sampling as a host default because supported Agent CLIs expose no temperature flag.
  • The eight high-gap cells and product thresholds use the same public cohort. Their EER values are calibration results, not an independent production accuracy claim.
  • A nearest reference is a similarity result. VerifyLLMAPI returns INCONCLUSIVE when the claimed route lacks an enrolled fingerprint.
