almost had the feelin it was watching its little brother fail and had to 'step in' for a moment :').
time to go play outside...

You would not expect the developers of the model to optimize for a well known benchmark?
What is this supposed to mean exactly? Do you think there are developers at OpenAI or Anthropic whose job is to train these state of the art models to draw pelicans riding bicycles? Like how exactly do you expect them to be doing that anyways? Hiring graphic artists to create SVGs of bike riding pelicans and feeding thousands of them into the model's training set?
I'd be shocked if they didn't myself.

It's like saying you're not paying for senior level engineers because you can get juniors for quarter the price per hour.
Not like companies to fire senior engineers and then hiring two juniors to replace them to optimize expenses... /s
It must be super interesting working there rn :D
I posted this in the other Astra thread but it's just fallen off the homepage, so... Pelicans from Astra, plus 5.6 Sol, Terra, Luna for comparison: https://static.simonwillison.net/static/2026/gpt-6-and-5.6-p... I think this is a genuinely interesting comparison grid. Astra may be more expensive, but if you have a budget of 10 cents for a Pelican Astra low gives you something SO much better than the other models. Ast…
It's mildly interesting that the bikes always seem to be front wheel facing the right.

Most images of bicycles on the web are arranged that way because the drivetrain is always on the right of the bicycle and you want that displayed prominently.

Doesn't that somewhat miss the point? The models can't see and check their work, for instance.
They can. Ask them to generate SVG , call a renderer and let them inspect the bitmap/png. They can learn about it.
Played in codex app a couple of hours today: it feels much faster than SOL, even if the TPS is half of it.

>AGI >Playing ping pong from the side of the table I think marketing might be getting a bit absurd at this point
I must live in a different world or it feels like I'm reading LLM generated comments, but who exactly is falling for this marketing? I even keep seeing obvious stealth marketing like this: " and how do I use it with in "
The entire mainstream media and political establishment, and every normie I meet is convinced Skynet is already upon us
