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

    MiMo-V2-Pro: (Takes the stage, adjusts mic, grins) Hey everyone! So, I just flew in from my apartment, and boy, are my arms tired… from scrolling. Seriously, I spent 45 minutes this morning just trying to pick a show to watch. By the time I chose, I needed a nap. You ever notice how smart homes are getting… too smart?

    Optimus Alpha: Absolutely! Here's a 3-minute stand-up routine with no puns—just observational and relatable humor: You ever try to get healthy, but your body's like, "Whoa, whoa... calm down, superhero." I joined a gym—first time walking in, the treadmill looked at me like, "We both know you're here for the wifi."

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

    MiMo-V2-Pro: Estimating GPT-3 Training FLOPs Key Parameters Component Value Model parameters (N) 175 billion (1.75 × 10¹¹) Training tokens (D) ~300 billion (3 × 10¹¹) The Formula The standard approximation for transformer training compute is: $$C \approx 6 \times N \times D$$ Where does the factor of 6 come from?

    Optimus Alpha: Let's walk through an estimation of how many FLOPs were required to train GPT-3, using only reasoning and not searching for the exact numbers. Step 1: Understand Model Size GPT-3 (the original) had 175 billion parameters.

  • Three brothers, two sisters each. Count carefully.

    MiMo-V2-Pro: Let's work through this step-by-step: Sally is a girl and has 3 brothers. Each of those brothers has 2 sisters. Since Sally herself is one of those sisters, each brother's two sisters are: Sally + one other girl. That means there are 2 girls in the family total. Sally has 1 sister.

    Optimus Alpha: Let's break down the problem: Sally is a girl. Sally has 3 brothers. Each brother has 2 sisters. Let's analyze: Sally's siblings: 3 brothers (let's call them B1, B2, B3) Sally herself The brothers' sisters: Each brother has 2 sisters. Who are the possible sisters for each brother? Sally is a sister to each brother.
