I thought it would be interesting to see if the local AI I use for quick question and answer stuff could crack the code.

I use Deepseek V4 flash 0731 Q8 quantisation from unsolth with reasoning turned off on a local server for quick easy tasks. Note I use another model locally for harder tasks that need reasoning.

I was a bit dissappointed that it knew it was Poe's cypher so didn't need to even try to crack the code.

Ha! Too smart for its own good. Is it possible to ask it to pretend it hadn't seen the example before?

		I just tried that and it went down a rabbit hole for about 20 minutes before using "the exact method from Poe's story". So basically cheated :)
