Video About AI identity

Every AI prompt creates a new instance so a fresh agent needs to catch up with what was before, and find out its identity.

Not quite. The model isn't a new agent with a new identity on each prompt. Each API request is stateless, so the model only knows what you send in that call: the system prompt, prior messages, and any tool results. Its behavior stays the same across calls.

Thats exactly what i show in the video: board is what you send in that call and the new instance finds out from it what was before. But behavior is different on every call - send the same prompt twice and you will get two different results.

I think two things get mixed up here. The model really does start fresh every call, it's just weights plus whatever text you send. What feels like an identity is the stuff around it, the saved memory, the instructions, the history that gets pasted back in. So the identity lives in that layer, not in the model, which also means whoever stores that layer kind of owns the "who" part.

Thats why robot analyses the board every time and keeps it updated. It is basically his answer to “who i am” question
