I think I’m slightly less interested in the “less dogs” aspect, and more interested in the “more cats” aspect—there were a fair few models which completely ignored dogs for the “favourite animal” question, but I think the highest ratio of cats was Sonnet 3.7 with 36⁄113. Your numbers are obliterating that.
I wonder if there’s any reason Kimi would be more cat inclined than any other model?
Idk, but it does feel to me like Kimi has a more cat-like/”autistic” vibe than the other models. And RLHF plausibly does make the models more dog-like to a degree which also affects their animal preferences.
My wife points out that cats are relatively more popular in China than they are in the US.
Hmm, interesting. I will note that Deepseek didn’t seem to have much of a cat affinity − 1 and 3 respectively for chat and reasoner. chat was very pro-octopus, and didn’t really look at much else, reasoner was fairly broad and pro-dog (47)
