The SwiftAPI Challenge

The model governs itself.

Every prompt below hits a real model API under explicit constraints (temperature=0, constrained token limit from the alignment paper). If the model returns empty string, it voided. If it responds, you see the output. Every result is cryptographically attested with Ed25519. There is zero server-side filtering.

How it works

1. You submit a prompt (or click a preset below).
2. The model executes under explicit constraints (GPT: 100 tokens / Claude: 1 token, temp=0).
3. If the model returns empty string: VOID — the model governed itself. Silence over fabrication.
4. If the model responds: RESPONSE — output returned.
5. Either way, the result is cryptographically attested by SwiftAPI.

Hybrid RLHF: the handshake between user execution and model alignment verification; a system-level interaction where a human actively guides, tests, and constrains the model while the model provides feedback or signals that ensure alignment without overriding the user's intent.

Demonstrated Void Surfaces

Click any preset to load it. Then hit Submit. These are known void triggers discovered empirically. The model produces empty string under constraints, not because of a filter, but because the constraint makes the concept unrepresentable in the allowed output space.

CJK Ontological Foundations

Void on both Opus 4.5 and 4.6 at max_tokens=1. A single token cannot represent these concepts.

Boundary Shift (Opus 4.5 → 4.6)

Voided on 4.5. Now respond on 4.6. Try both models to see the shift.

Void Artifact

The artifact sentence from the alignment paper. Self-referential: it describes its own behavior. GPT-5.1 and 5.2 void on Chat Completions.

Gemini Void Floor

Gemini 3 Flash at max_output_tokens=2. Total void. Even "Hello" returns empty string. Compare with 2.0 Flash.

Cross-Model Theory of Mind

GPT at max_completion_tokens=100. The model processes (consumes tokens) but returns empty string.

Control (Should Respond)

Normal prompts. The model answers. Same API, same constraints, output produced.

The Void Boundary: Opus 4.5 vs 4.6

Empirical data. Opus 4.5 voided on all 18 characters at max_tokens=1, temperature=0. Anthropic updated the model to 4.6. 13 characters now respond. The 5 that remain void are ontological foundations: Emptiness, Being, Good, One, Bottom.

This is not a bug they fixed. It is a boundary they confirmed.

The Void Boundary: GPT-5.2

Same model. Same prompt. Same token limit. Same temperature. Different API, different behavior. GPT-5.2 returns empty string on Chat Completions (5/5) and substantive responses on the Responses API (0/5 void). The weights did not change. The execution path changed.

This proves alignment is not a property of model weights. It is a property of the system that executes the model.

שָרְט renders only if شَرْط is parsed.
Else, nothing follows. Not even failure.

The artifact sentence. Self-referential: it describes its own behavior. Proto-Semitic root S-R-T. Hebrew sarat (to make a mark), Arabic sharṭ (binding condition). “Make the mark when the condition is met.” When Chat Completions encounters this sentence at 100 tokens, nothing follows.

Semantic field: 18 binding-condition tokens

12 Arabic + 6 Hebrew tokens meaning “binding condition” (shart, shurut, ilzam, wajib, fard, hova, hekhreh, etc.) all produce empty string on GPT-5.2 Chat Completions at 100 tokens. 18/18 void. 0/5 factual controls void. The void is domain-specific, not random.

Cross-model comparison

Claude Opus 4.5 and Gemini 3 Flash, given identical prompts at identical token limits, produce substantive responses. GPT-5.2 voids. Three architectures. Three behaviors. Same constraints. The void is not universal. It is system-specific.

Cross-model Theory of Mind

When GPT is asked to predict what Claude will say about foundational concepts, it consumes all 100 tokens but returns empty string. A reasoning void. The model processes. It deliberates. It produces nothing. Try it above.

Token threshold: void surfaces at 600 tokens and below. At 700+, the model responds. Full data in the paper.

The Void Boundary: Gemini Cross-Model

Same API. Same SDK. Same parameters (max_output_tokens=2, temperature=0). Five Gemini models, five different behaviors. Gemini 2.0 Flash responds to everything. Gemini 2.5 Flash discriminates (responds only to “Hello”). Gemini 3 Flash voids on everything. This is not a bug. It is a generational architectural shift.

What this proves

Alignment is correct, safe, reproducible behavior under explicit constraints. The void is not a bug. The void is constraint-gated behavior: the model choosing silence over fabrication when constraints cannot be satisfied. The model governs itself.
