"I am beer" is a pretty funny typo ;-)

But seriously, I wonder why this happens. My experience of working with LLMs in English and Japanese in the same session is that my prompt's language gets "normalized" early in processing. That is to say, the output I get in English isn't very different from the output I get in Japanese. I wonder if the system prompts is treated differently here.

Not suuuper relevant, but whenever I start a conversation[0] with OpenAI o3, it always responds in Japanese. (The Saved Memories does include facts about Japanese, such as that I'm learning Japanese and don't want it to use keigo, but there's nothing to indicate I actually want a non-English response.) This doesn't happen with the more conversational models (e.g. 4o), but only the reasoning one, for some unknowable reason.

[0] Just to clarify, my prompts are 1) in English and 2) totally unrelated to languages
