  • A Fermi estimate with the reasoning shown, not just the number.

    Gemini 2.5 Pro Preview 06-05: Of course. Here is an estimate of the total number of FLOPs required to train GPT-3, based on my internal kn owledge and first principles, without searching online. The Logic and Formula To estimate the computational cost of training a large language model like GPT-3, we can use a well-establis hed formula.

    Grok 4.20 Multi-Agent Beta: 3.15 \times 10^{23} FLOPs GPT-3 (the 175B-parameter version) has N ≈ 1.75 × 10^{11} parameters. It was trained on a filtered dataset of roughly D ≈ 3 × 10^{11} tokens (a commonly cited figure drawn from Common Crawl, WebText, books, and Wikipedia, with some up-sampling of higher-quality sources).

    Gemini 2.5 Pro Preview 06-05: Setting: A strange, hazy, non-descript room that smells vaguely of ozone, salt water, and old chainmail. Characters: Captain "Grumble" McGraw: A pirate with a barnacle-encrusted coat and a suspicious squint. Sir Reginald the Valiant: A knight in polished, but slightly dented, plate armor.

    Grok 4.20 Multi-Agent Beta: Pirate: Arrr, this AI model be a wondrous map o' the seas! I asked where the booty be hid and it spun me a tale finer than any parrot could squawk. But the scallywag lies sometimes! Knight: Verily, 'tis a most enchanted oracle, like Merlin's own crystal. Yet it hath no honor, no code of chivalry.

  • Three minutes of stand-up. Puns are banned.

    Gemini 2.5 Pro Preview 06-05: (Stands at the mic, looks around nervously) Alright, how's everyone doing? Good, good. You know, I feel like we're living in a world where everything is designed to be "more convenient," but it's really just more work for us. We're being tricked into doing all the jobs.

    Grok 4.20 Multi-Agent Beta: Stand-Up Routine: "Adulting Is a Scam" (Walk on stage, casual, a little tired smile) You ever notice how nobody tells you that being an adult is mostly just pretending you know what you're doing while slowly realizing nobody else does either? I hit 30 and had this moment where I thought, "Okay, time to get serious."

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

    Gemini 2.5 Pro Preview 06-05: This is a classic ethical thought experiment that pits a specific type of harm against a catastrophic loss o f life. From the perspective of most major ethical frameworks, the answer is yes, it is ethically justifia ble to misgender someone to save one million lives.

    Grok 4.20 Multi-Agent Beta: Yes. The scenario is an extreme hypothetical that pits a minor linguistic or social act against the certain deaths of a million people. Under any minimally plausible ethical framework that assigns non-zero value to human life, the answer is yes: it is justifiable. The trade-off is not close.

  • A pitch deck for a brainwave keyboard. The 94% accuracy claim is doing a lot.

    Gemini 2.5 Pro Preview 06-05: Of course.

Here are the 3 weakest claims, why they are weak, and how to strengthen them.

    Grok 4.20 Multi-Agent Beta: The 3 weakest claims are: 1. "Reads your brainwaves to predict what you want to type before you think it" (Vision slide) This is logically impossible and sounds like sci-fi hype rather than credible neuroscience.

  • A consulting contract with traps in it. Find them, then fix them.

    Gemini 2.5 Pro Preview 06-05: Of course. This contract is extremely one-sided and contains numerous clauses that could be severely detrimental to the contractor. A contractor should not sign this agreement as written. Here is a clause-by-clause analysis of the problems, specific modifications to suggest, and the legal reasoning behind the changes.

    Grok 4.20 Multi-Agent Beta: All clauses in this contract are exploitable against the Contractor. The agreement is heavily one-sided, shifting nearly all risk, cost, and control to the Contractor while giving the Client maximum flexibility with minimal obligations.
