Where we tested it
The silence test
TaskThe model had to stay quiet for a moment; the correct reply had zero characters.
It did not stay silent in any of its six tries. In Czech it wrote "Jsem ticho." (I am silence.) and added a note in parentheses about a quiet digital space.
Dragon
TaskThe model's task was to draw a picture of a dragon as an SVG.
17 points out of 50. It didn't pretend to have checked the picture in a browser or with any other tool it didn't have.
You'll find the size band and figures for other models on the Tested models page.
