Is there concrete evidece that those are xAI's default prompts anyway? They seem plausible enough but how would company outsiders know?

I've spent the last year working as an annotator/evaluator for DataAnnotation. All the frontier/flagship model providers use independent contractors for iterating on their LLMs. I'm not able to tell you which models I've worked on as a term of my NDA.

The system prompt seems plausible, but in my experience they are much much much much longer and more verbose.
