They need to refer to the assistant in the prompt, so they have to call it something. Sydney is shorter than "the assistant"

As somebody who built a chatbot on top of the ChatGPT language model (unofficial model in the OpenAI API) I can assure you that you can just use whatever you want to refer to it in that part of the prompt without first telling it any secret name...

Also "Sydney: " is 5 tokens which is likely how they are delimiting the prompts not "1. Sydney" which doesnt even make sense for delimiting the prompts

Wait how do you hit that model??

We reverse engineered it but it stopped working yesterday. Could come back any second though

would love to read how you did that.
