#!/usr/bin/env python3 """ Build the MWP model chronicle: a few aired scripts per script-writer model (PLAN-040). Publishes https://huggingface.co/datasets/My-Weird-Prompts/model-chronicle (public) and writes website/public/data/model-chronicle.json (the same rows minus `transcript`) for the /benchmark hub. Selection, per canonical writer model (canonicalisation mirrors `canonical_model()` in pipeline/scripts/build_transcript_corpus.py, i.e. the `llm_model_canonical` column of the HF `transcripts` dataset): * Candidates: aired (`is_test = false`), English, with a transcript, and not a translation or an `audio_eval` special. Records that name no model are skipped: manual-script, manual-generation, unknown, none, openrouter/mixed, null/empty. * Pool, first non-empty of: pipeline-written with >= 1,500 words; pipeline- written of any length; offline-written (episode_type = 'manual-script', i.e. Claude Code via /webhook/generate-from-script) >= 1,500 words; offline of any length. So offline scripts appear only when a model has nothing else. * Picks from the pool, ordered by pub_date: earliest, the median-date one (index (n-1)//2) and the latest; fewer when the pool has fewer than 3. Deterministic: the same database gives the same picks.

split: train path: chronicle.jsonl --- # My Weird Prompts — Model Chronicle *My Weird Prompts* is an AI-generated podcast: every episode's dialogue is written by a large language model, and the model that writes it has changed many times since November 2025. The back catalogue is therefore a chronicle of how frontier models evolved, with each era's writer on air. This dataset is a small, curated slice of it — **up to three aired scripts per writer model** — so anyone can read eras side by side ("Gemini 2.5 Flash vs DeepSeek V4 Pro vs GPT-6.1 Sol") without downloading the full corpus. {len(rows)} scripts from {n_models} writer models, built {built_at}. - Site hub, with the leaderboard and writer history: - Full corpus (every episode, turns, text statistics): [`My-Weird-Prompts/transcripts`](https://huggingface.co/datasets/My-Weird-Prompts/transcripts) - Browse and filter every transcript by model: [`My-Weird-Prompts/transcripts-explorer`](https://huggingface.co/spaces/My-Weird-Prompts/transcripts-explorer) - Controlled, same-prompt benchmark of candidate writers: ## Read this before comparing **These are not same-prompt comparisons.** Each script answers whatever listener or host prompt was on the queue that day; topics, lengths and episode formats differ. For like-for-like scoring of writers on identical briefs, use the eval repo above. The model is not the only thing that changed between eras: - **The system-prompt template changed with the model, twice.** In the full catalogue (measured 2026-09-22 over 5,332 episodes), template 3.5 → 4.0 landed on the April 2026 Gemini → DeepSeek switch, and 4.0 → 4.1 on the September 2026 DeepSeek V4 Pro → V4.1 Flash switch. A difference between those eras is never attributable to the model alone. `prompt_version` is included per row; null means not recorded (before March 2026), not "none". - **A deterministic verbal-tic cleanup pass** runs after generation and deletes stock phrasings (conjunction openers, sycophantic openers, echo handoffs), so the aired text is not the raw model output. The full corpus counts what it removed per episode (`tic_*` columns). - **Episode length moved**: median length rose from about 3,000 words (2025) to about 4,200 (2026), so length-sensitive measures (n-gram repetition, compression) trend partly with length. - **Some eras are a few days long.** The March 2026 and October 2026 bake-offs aired one to a handful of episodes per candidate; those share that week's prompts, so anything topic-linked in them is subject matter, not style. `model_episode_count` shows how much each model actually wrote. - **Offline scripts** (`written = offline`, {n_offline} rows here) were written in Claude Code and submitted as finished scripts rather than by the production pipeline. They are used only for models with no pipeline-written episode. ## Selection rule Per canonical writer model, from aired English episodes with a transcript (test episodes, translations and `audio_eval` specials excluded; records that name no model — `manual-script`, `manual-generation`, `unknown`, `none`, `openrouter/mixed` — skipped): 1. Pool = the first non-empty of: pipeline-written with at least 1,500 words; pipeline-written of any length; offline-written with at least 1,500 words; offline-written of any length (the `pool` column says which). 2. Picks, by publication date within the pool: the **earliest**, the **median-date** one and the **latest**. A model with one or two eligible episodes gets one or two. The build is deterministic. It is rebuilt on demand by [`scripts/build_model_chronicle.py`](scripts/build_model_chronicle.py) (a copy of the exact code ships in this repo) from the production database; hand edits on the Hub are overwritten. ## Models | Canonical id | Name | Provider | Era (first → last aired) | Episodes | Picks | Pool | |---|---|---|---|---|---|---| {chr(10).join(models)} ## Columns | Column | Description | |---|---| {cols} Canonicalisation: `anthropic/claude-sonnet-4.6` and `claude-sonnet-4-6` are the same model under two spellings and share `model_canonical = claude-sonnet-4-6`. `deepseek-chat` is kept as its own id here, as in the full corpus; those episodes say on air that DeepSeek v3.2 wrote them. ## Use ```python from datasets import load_dataset ds = load_dataset("My-Weird-Prompts/model-chronicle", split="train") ``` The writing models' providers set their own terms on using model output, including for training other models; check them before fine-tuning on these scripts.
