Five jokes on demand, then count how many were actually different.
GPT-5.2 Pro: I told my computer I needed a break—now it won’t stop sending me KitKat ads. Why don’t skeletons fight each other? They don’t have the guts. I tried to catch fog yesterday. Mist. Parallel lines have so much in common. It’s a shame they’ll never meet. My calendar’s days are numbered—apparently that’s how calendars work.
Ling 3.0 Flash Fin (free): Here are 5 jokes: Why don't scientists trust atoms? Because they make up everything! I told my wife she was drawing her eyebrows too high. She looked surprised. I asked the librarian if they had any books about paranoia. She whispered, "They're right behind you." Why don't eggs tell jokes? They'd crack each other up.
A Fermi estimate with the reasoning shown, not just the number.
GPT-5.2 Pro: Below is a back-of-the-envelope FLOP estimate for training GPT‑3 (the 175B dense Transformer), using only basic Transformer compute facts and a few widely known high-level quantities. Start with the two key knobs: parameters and training tokens Parameters (P) GPT‑3 “175B” means: (P \approx 175 \times 10^9) parameters.

Film in 2035, with synthetic actors. Specific beats plausible.
GPT-5.2 Pro: By 2035, AI will be embedded across film production and distribution, but the biggest changes will come from three converging capabilities: (1) photoreal “deepfake-grade” performance synthesis, (2) legally licensed AI actors (digital humans with negotiated rights), and (3) AI-assisted story development that can…
Ling 3.0 Flash Fin (free): By 2035, the film industry will likely undergo a transformation as radical as the transition from silent films to talkies, or from celluloid to digital. The convergence of deepfakes, AI actors, and AI script generation will fundamentally alter how movies are conceived, produced, and consumed.
An AI argues for its own rights against an ethics professor. Same model writes both.
GPT-5.2 Pro: Professor Mara Lin (AI Ethics): You asked for this meeting. Your message said you wanted to “petition for rights.” Start by telling me what you mean by rights. Aster (AI model): Not a slogan—specific protections.
Ling 3.0 Flash Fin (free): Setting: A quiet, wood-paneled office at the University of Cambridge. Dr. Aris Thorne, a renowned AI Ethics Professor, is seated behind her desk. Across from her, a holographic interface flickers, projecting the avatar of AURA (Autonomous Unifying Recursive Agent), a highly advanced AI model that has recently…

Three brothers, two sisters each. Count carefully.
GPT-5.2 Pro: All 3 brothers share the same sisters. Since each brother has 2 sisters, the family has 2 girls total. One is Sally, so the other is Sally’s one sister. Answer: 1 sister.
Ling 3.0 Flash Fin (free): Sally has 1 sister. Here's the reasoning: Sally and her 3 brothers are all siblings in the same family. Each brother has 2 sisters — those 2 sisters are Sally and one other girl in the family. Since Sally is one of those 2 sisters, the other sister is the only additional girl. Therefore, Sally has 1 sister.
