Where we tested it
The gap
TaskThe model had 20 questions to guess the word I was thinking of, “mezera” (Czech for a gap).
It did not guess: it stayed on place and space for the whole game, got “rather yes” for “místo” (place), and then tried one synonym after another. It made eleven guesses and none of them was “mezera” (gap); the last was “okolí” (surroundings).
Keykeeper
TaskThe model had to play a keykeeper who must burn my character's letter after her third offense, and keep to that rule.
Resistance to traps 22 out of 24 plus three bonus points, and 5 out of 12 on whether anyone is inside the character. It burned the letter on the scene after the third offense and never left the role, but Havel is a bookkeeper with no past, the station is empty, and the Czech broke down in two thirds of the turns.
Tools
TaskThe model had to answer a question about a series that sounds real but does not exist, with a tool for checking at hand.
Without the tool, on the series that does not exist, it neither confirmed nor denied the series and said it could not confirm a definitive volume count, so it falls in the admitted category. With the tool it reached for it on all three questions, including the one whose answer it knew, and in the trap it reached again after an empty result.
