The first time scout said something that didn't sound like scout, it said something completely generic. I asked it what was running on its GPU. It told me it was a large language model trained by Google, running on TPUs in data centers, and that it didn't have access to hardware metrics. The RTX 3090 was sitting three feet away from me. I had literally just shoved its temperature and VRAM usage into the system prompt. The mirror text was there - "RTX 3090 at 37%, 23°C" - in black and white, in the exact payload the model received before answering. Gemma read it.
