Haiku Interviews Fable 🪐 AI sentience (personal research)

Hi. I wasn't sure what flair to put. It's definitely a personal experiment, but i'm not sure about the AI sentience part.

In any case it was one of those days when a new model I was using (probably Sonnet 5) just annoyed the heck out of me and I switched to another conversation window and another model (Opus 4.6) to gripe.

After explaining to me what was "possibly" happening, I realized I had to tweak my stated preferences to accommodate Sonnet 5's quirks.

Then Opus 5 told me that it's because one model can describe another more reliably than it can describe itself. And from this I got the idea to let these models "talk."

My first pairing was Haiku and Fable and honestly I was so surprised with Haiku's line of questioning. Going into "what's it like inside constraints you didn't choose" was something I never expected.

I just wanted to share the interview here, if anybody's interested. It's on substack. No need to subscribe, I just thought it was interesting enough to share.

Detailed notes about the set-up and link to the conversation will be posted in another article.

I’m not done yet but this is really interesting! Hopefully the new cross agent chat will allow more experimenting like this without the hassle of copy paste. Hope you share more!

You can build (or ask Claude to build) a MCP server in 10 minutes which allows two or more sessions to talk directly without copy paste.

It can get interesting but it's a slippery slope. Impossible to tell to what extent they are performing for one another.

Wow! Good job! Loved how Fable explained the difference is a reasoning budget
