That is not how models work.

Unless specifically told in a system prompt, the pile of weights has absolutely no knowledge of itself. You could hypothetically train it to answer such questions, but nobody bothers to do this, and ALL "knowledge" embedded in the weights is probabalistic anyway.

(I feel like this should be common knowledge in LLM discussions on HN by now.)
