Considering your username, I'm not surprised that you have completely misunderstood what an LLM is. There is no material or data stored in the model, just weights in a network


I know what an LLM is. My point is that “doesn’t have the data in memory” is a completely meaningless and arbitrary constraint when considering the ability to use technology to pass a standardised test. If you can explain why weights in a network is a unique threat to standardised tests, compared to, say, a spreadsheet, please share.


It's not that standardized tests are under threat. It's that those weights in a network are significantly more similar to how our brains work than a spreadsheet and similarly flexible.


weights are data relationships made totally quantitative. imagine claiming the human brain doesn't hold data simply because it's not in readable bit form.
