The original Codex Mini before the glow-up. Follows instructions, formats with markdown headers, and calls the audience "buddy" like a summer camp counselor.
Standup routine uses markdown headers to organize comedy into titled sections like "The Self-Checkout Olympics," which is the most engineer thing a model has ever done. Calls the audience "buddy" in the self-checkout bit. Generated exactly 5 jokes and counted them.
