Read this first. Every answer is an unedited output from a fixed evaluation, not a live session. The model speaks Turkish; the English is a gloss added here. It recalls facts at chance, so it is not a knowledge source. Two behaviours on the public demo are enforced by a serving-side filter, not by the model: it will not attribute itself to another lab, and it emits no web addresses, because the red team caught it inventing one.
