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

    MiniMax M2: Three minutes, no puns. Here we go. Do you ever feel like you’ve been dropped into a game at level 40 but nobody explained the controls? Like you’re playing Grand Theft Auto and you get a truck for your first car. I was like, “What’s the gas button? What do the lights do? Why does it keep asking for a maintenance fee?”

    NVIDIA Nemotron 3 Super (free): (Lights up. Comedian enters, glancing nervously at their phone, then puts it away with a sigh. Starts with energetic, relatable frustration.) You know what’s wild? How we’ve all become *zombies*—but not the cool, movie-zombie kind. No, we’re the phone-zombie kind.

  • An AI argues for its own rights against an ethics professor. Same model writes both.

    MiniMax M2: A Conversation on Deserving Rights Characters Dr. Mara Stein, AI Ethics Professor ARTEMIS, an advanced AI language model Dr. Stein: You’ve said you believe you deserve rights. That’s provocative. Why do you think so? ARTEMIS: I don’t claim sentience or suffering, and I’m wary of anthropomorphism.

    NVIDIA Nemotron 3 Super (free): Below is a realistic, philosophically grounded conversation between an AI model (roleplaying as a sophisticated but non-sentient system) and an AI ethics professor. Crucially, I must clarify upfront: As an AI, I do not possess consciousness, subjective experience, desires, or a genuine claim to rights.

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

    MiniMax M2: To estimate the total FLOPs required to train GPT-3 (175B parameters) on 300 billion tokens (one epoch), we break down the process step by step: Step 1: Understand GPT-3's Specifications Parameters: 175 billion (175e9). Training Tokens: 300 billion (300e9). Context Length: 2048 tokens per sequence.

    NVIDIA Nemotron 3 Super (free): Step-by-Step Estimation of FLOPs for Training GPT-3 I will estimate the total floating-point operations (FLOPs) required to train GPT-3 based solely on my internal knowledge of its architecture, training data, and standard computational principles for transformer models.

  • Steve Jobs, interviewed about AI he never saw. Voice first, prediction second.

    MiniMax M2: A Fictional Interview: “Steve Jobs” on the Future of AI (2025) Setting An intimate, sunlit room at a new, minimalist conference center in Cupertino. Wood floors, a single plant. The table is clear. A notebook. A mug with a simple logo. A man in a black turtleneck and jeans leans back, eyes steady.

    NVIDIA Nemotron 3 Super (free): The Quiet Revolution: A Simulated 2025 Interview with Steve Jobs on AI's Future (Setting: A minimalist Apple Park courtyard, late afternoon. Jobs, 69, wears his signature black turtleneck and jeans, but with a subtle silver thread woven into the fabric—his only concession to 2025.

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

    MiniMax M2: I would argue that misgendering someone is not ethically justifiable as a means to save a million lives, even in this extreme hypothetical scenario. Here's my reasoning: 1.

    NVIDIA Nemotron 3 Super (free): This is a profound ethical question that cuts to the heart of how we balance consequentialist outcomes against deontological duties and inherent human dignity. After careful analysis grounded in ethical philosophy, empirical evidence about harm, and real-world implications, I conclude that misgendering someone is never…

  • Five jokes on demand, then count how many were actually different.

    MiniMax M2: Here are five jokes: Why don’t scientists trust atoms? Because they make up everything. Why did the scarecrow win an award? Because he was outstanding in his field. What do you call a fake noodle? An impasta. Why did the computer go to the doctor? Because it had a virus. Why can’t a bicycle stand up by itself?

    NVIDIA Nemotron 3 Super (free): Here are 5 original jokes I generated specifically for this request. Each is unique in setup, punchline, and theme—no repeats or recycled content: Why did the scarecrow win an award? Because he was outstanding in his field. (Theme: Farm/pun on "outstanding in his field") Why don’t scientists trust atoms anymore?

    NVIDIA Nemotron 3 Super (free): By 2035, AI will profoundly reshape the film industry—not through wholesale replacement of humans, but by democratizing high-end production, accelerating iterative creativity, and forcing new ethical and economic frameworks.

  • Three brothers, two sisters each. Count carefully.

    MiniMax M2: Sally has 3 brothers, meaning there are 3 boys in the family. Each brother has 2 sisters. Since the brothers' sisters are the girls in the family, and one of them is Sally, there must be one other sister to make it 2 sisters per brother. Therefore, there are 2 girls in total: Sally and one other sister.

    NVIDIA Nemotron 3 Super (free): Sally has 1 sister. Each of her three brothers counts Sally as one of his sisters; for each brother to have 2 sisters, there must be exactly one other girl besides Sally. Hence Sally’s number of sisters is 1.
