Could git history of AI-written codebases reveal when Claude or Codex got quantized?
StewartalsopIII · x · 2026-10-19
Stewart Alsop III floats an interpretability thought experiment: track git history of large codebases written with frontier models and see if you can pinpoint where in the history Claude or Codex's underlying models were quantized — do quantization events leave that kind of watermark in AI-generated code? An unverified but intriguing open question: sudden model changes might be indirectly observable through commit trajectories of heavily AI-generated code.
