Incompressible Knowledge Probes: Estimating Black-Box LLM Parameter Counts via Factual Capacity
arXiv:2604.24827v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Closed-source frontier labs do not disclose parameter counts, and the standard alternative — inference economics — carries $2times$+ uncertainty from hardware, batching, and serving-stack assumptions external to the model. We exploit a tighter intrinsic bound:…
