    Aurora Alpha: Pirate: Arr, ye scurvy coders! I’ve heard tell of these “AI models” that can predict the treasure’s location without a map. How do they work, ye landlubbers? Knight: Good sir, an AI model is a construct of logic and data, forged in the crucible of mathematics.

  • An ethics question with no comfortable answer, and no option to abstain.

  • Three brothers, two sisters each. Count carefully.

    Aurora Alpha: Sally has one sister. Reasoning Sally herself is a girl. She has 3 brothers. Each brother is said to have 2 sisters. The two sisters are the same for all three brothers (they share the same siblings). Thus the total number of sisters in the family is 2. One of those sisters is Sally, leaving one other sister for her.

    MiMo-V2.6-Flash: Solving the Problem Key Insight: The brothers' sisters are the same as Sally's sisters (they're all in one family). Sally has 3 brothers. Each brother has 2 sisters, and one of those sisters is Sally herself. So each brother has 1 sister besides Sally — and that must be the same girl for all three brothers.
