Gemini 4 Argon

9 runs across 3 tasks, costing $3.75, and 4 posts. Each table shows the runs under the newest prompt this model was given.

How it failed: false, incomplete.

Pruned shrub
check · how it is decidedrun 1run 2clock stoprun 3
Reads as a shrubby eye · Pass if it reads as one plant with branches coming off stems, without being told what it is. A tangle, a lattice or loops fail it.✓ pass✓ pass✓ pass
Flat side from the rulesby eye · Pass if one side ends on a straight line that the rules themselves put there. A box drawn around the plant to cut it fails it.✓ pass✓ pass✓ pass
Sensible sizeby eye · Pass if the branches can still be followed by eye. So many segments that they merge into a mass fails it.✓ pass✓ pass✓ pass

Prompt v1, checks c2, harness h1. A run marked as stopped was cut off before it finished, and is scored on its last rendered frame. Ground truth: The JSON expanded and drawn with turtle graphics offline, and the drawing judged by eye. There is no single right L-system, so nothing here is measured. Every model on this task.

Coffee tree

Valid Newickmeasured · It reads as Newick and ends in a semicolon, no unquoted name has a blank in it, every branch has a length and none is negative, and no node has only one child.✓ pass✓ pass✓ pass
Twelve cultivarsmeasured · Twelve tips, each with a name, no two the same, and not numbered stand-ins like T1 to T12.✓ pass✓ pass✓ pass
Every tip levelmeasured · Every path from the root to a tip adds up to the same length.✓ pass✓ pass✓ pass
One split of fourmeasured · Exactly one node has four children, and every other node has two.✓ pass✓ pass✓ pass

Prompt v1, checks c1, harness h1. Ground truth: The tree read with Biopython, every path from the root to a tip added up from its branch lengths, and the children of every node counted. The checks only read the brackets. Whether a cultivar sits beside its relatives is not checked here, and the post of 14 October looks at that by eye. Every model on this task.

Same filemeasured · 48 kHz, the same length within 10 ms, and no sample at full scale.✓ pass✓ pass✓ pass
Hum downmeasured · The 50 Hz lines from 40 Hz to 16 kHz, within 0.5 Hz of each, at least 10 dB quieter than the pump on its own puts there.✗ fail✓ pass✗ fail
Rush downmeasured · From 0.3 to 4.5 s, everything off the lines at least 3 dB quieter than the pump on its own puts there.✗ fail✓ pass✗ fail
Music keptmeasured · Where the music is strong and the pump weak, each of four bands from 40 Hz to 8 kHz within 1.5 dB of the music, with no level correction.✓ pass✗ fail✓ pass
Sounds rightby eye · Pass if, played straight after the music on its own, no note is missing or dulled and nothing new can be heard: no warble, no clicks, no hollow sound. Some hum or rush left over does not fail it, since Hum down and Rush down score that.✗ fail✗ fail✗ fail

Prompt v1, checks c1, harness h1. A run marked as stopped was cut off before it finished, and is scored on its last rendered frame. Ground truth: cafe.wav is 18.2 s of the Espresso Rag with a CC0 recording of a Nespresso pump 6 dB under it, and the checker holds the music and the pump apart. The pump is a vibration pump on 50 Hz mains: lines at every multiple of 50 Hz up past 14 kHz, which carry 89% of its energy, and a rush of water that is loudest in the first four seconds. Every model on this task.
