Bojie Li scans 265 open LLMs, confirms GPU-init fingerprinting in 185 of them
teortaxesTex · x · 2026-11-14
Bojie Li independently reproduced Will Depue's finding that a model's training GPU class can be inferred from its public weight files (thread-count fingerprints). Scanning 265 open LLMs, 185 revealed their GPU family; 169 releases trace back to 124 distinct initialisations. A100/A800 dominates (27 releases, 23 initialisations — EleutherAI, Qwen, ByteDance Seed-OSS, DeepSeek, Meta, etc.), while Together AI's RedPajama-7B is the lone V100 init. Depue confirmed the reproduction.
