as a kid I did them like this. nobody told me to do that. are we all so similar?

I sincerely believe I've never had a single original thought™ in my whole life. There is this scene in the HBO series Westworld where a "host" says some words in sequence which is shown on a display as she says it. Of course, even me thinking of this scene and connecting it to your comment was not original, someone else clearly had the same programming as me. A medium blog post says > Pair what with me?” — the moment…

Oh I’d forgotten that scene until now. I remember being so, maybe not creeped out, but feeling shifted out of time and having a lot of philosophy I’d read finally click. “Oh, but I wouldn’t notice if this reality wasn’t real, fish not knowing about water, etc.”

Little did you know "they" were secretly harvesting data so their models can draw the best pelicans because someone keeps benchmarking them.

Not to mention, this is hyper competitive against even Chinese providers given its multi-modal support. Muse Spark 1.3 supports Text, Image, Video, File, Audio inputs. We've only started to see models from China include image and video inputs recently.

Muse Spark may be competitive in capabilities but it’s not for serious works since Meta trains on your prompts so no ZDR, in contrast Chinese provider like Z.AI promises ZDR which is more attractive to big corps.

lol of all people you think the Chinese will not log your queries?

Im a caveman writing c/cpp. Last time ms1.2 was even worth than DeepSeek v4f preview on internal benchmark. It just feels like extremely over fitting on certain paths.

I have opposite result: MS1.2 wrote C code without following original source code writing style, and no descriptive info why writing such code, DS4F or even Mimo seems better to me.

and furthermore, this is because the drivetrain is ~always on the right side of the bike - if you want to inspect or admire a bicycle you look at the right side, as you might look under the hood of a car. (Why the drivetrain is on the right, I don't know. But most bike parts follow open standards so it's quite entrenched.)

> and furthermore, this is because the drivetrain is ~always on the right side of the bike While I'm sure this factors into things for advertisements for bike components, there is also just a general preference that westerners have for left-to-right motion. Not just in bike ads, but all ads with (or suggesting) movement. And also not just ads, but movies where directors believe left-to-right motion is associated with…

Research has shown that people like to walk counterclockwise (right to left) through supermarkets, which is why they are arranged like this for maximum profit.

Simon, at this point I really wonder if teams aren’t gaming this. You should pick a random animal doing a random thing every time.

They're still not yet at the point where pelicanmaxxing is the best way to win this benchmark. Earlier models sucked because their SVG skills sucked. Newer models are likely better because more/better SVG models are being added to their training data.

i've been using muse spark 1.2 contribs since launch exclusively. no other models.

i like it very much. it is different than all other chinese models distilled from claude.

just ask it to do some front-end work and you will see its not the same UI as all other claude/distils.

also the price is unbeatable, $0.002 input caching. its the same as old dsv4-flash prices.

We should just consider the pelican bench as saturated and mostly meaningless.

But the general improvements are obvious. Get them to draw something very different (e.g. a wifi rotary phone with a peeled banana handset and a coiled cable, or a pink tennis ball with strawberry seeds and a reset button) and you can see that improvements are not narrowly tailored.
