We've been daily-driving this model for a few weeks and let me tell you, everything it does is a lot. Fast as fuck and it's actually not bad intelligence-wise for a fast model. It basically tries to make up for any intelligence deficit by just doing a lot, checking a lot, retrying a lot.

That's not to say I don't spend my days raging at it... a lot... but it's not that bad. It does tend to ignore completion criteria but it doesn't obviously degrade when being nudged like some models do.

One time I told it “we are doing science” and I had DNA emoji everywhere and it so over enthusiastically embraced the science theme I was genuinely laughing. It finished one task with a flourish of several dna emoji and proclaimed: The Science is COMPLETE. I died.

It really is a lot some of the time. And it’s chain of thought is hilarious a lot of the time.
