Another Blueprint In The Wall: How to Ask Frontier AI Like a Kid?

The paper reports experiments with six frontier AI models from OpenAI, Anthropic, xAI, and Google DeepMind, using ten independent sessions per model type and a three‑stage prompt sequence that shifts from architectural preference to a full ASCII backbone. Under a school‑audience framing, responses consistently converged on a shared architectural pattern featuring persistent latent state, adaptive computation, memory, specialist routing, verification, stopping control, and delayed decoding, while removing the framing led to more heterogeneous results. A notable observation is the close overlap between GPT‑5.6 Sol’s elaborate successor architecture and GPT‑6 Astra’s independently sketched design, raising questions about shared design priors or independent convergence.
