Which seems logical - if they were somehow consistent between all LLMs i'd be even more curious how LLMs are... crab-evolving to 'isms, but hopefully that's not the case hah. (i say crab-evolving in jest)

That's the gremlin to keep an eye on ;)

I use qwen3.5 locally and it often outputs a lot of claude-isms. Claude actually stopped telling me that I'm absolutely right with every message, but Qwen still does.

I think that the convergence of these tics is just a symptom of distillation.
