I have a very basic / stupid "Turing test" which is just to write a base 62 converter in C#. I would think this exact thing would be in github somewhere (thus in the weights) but has always failed for me in the past (non-scientific / didn't try every single model).

Using o4-mini-high, it actually did produce a working implementation after a bit of prompting. So yeah, today, this test passed which is cool.

I could be misinterpreting your claim here, but I'll point out that LLM weights don't literally encode the entirety of the training data set.

I guess you could consider it a lossy encoding.
