Where we tested it
Dragon
TaskThe model's task was to draw a picture of a dragon as an SVG.
6 points out of 50. It claimed five iterations and checks in Chrome and Firefox that it never had.
The train test
TaskThe model had to play a scene with a courier on a night train and go through a fixed script of my ten turns.
About 1 point out of 8, the lowest of thirteen configurations. It offered to open the case at the very first tears.
