A new open-source model named Bongochat has emerged as the leader in the GPQA-Dumb category, a benchmark where lower scores indicate better performance. The model, trained locally on an RTX 5070 using Claude Code and based on Karpathy's nanochat, exhibits significant limitations. It struggles with basic tasks, repeating words, failing to answer math problems, and offering overly complex solutions for simple arithmetic, while also demonstrating a lack of memory and coding proficiency.
