@Classic298 commented on GitHub (Mar 19, 2026):
System prompts should not be part of an exported chat payload.
So this is correct behaviour
@HideLord commented on GitHub (Mar 19, 2026):
@Classic298 Is it possible to know what the system prompt for the model was for a specific chat? Is it stored somewhere else? The only place I could find it is inside the models export, but it's just a snapshot of the latest parameters, and not a history of what they were.
@Classic298 commented on GitHub (Mar 19, 2026):
For now - no.
Not through chat exports.
Only way:
You log all your requests. In the request content, you can see the system prompt that was sent to the model.
Model export contains current version of the system prompt
