Meta's Muse Wonder model gets lost in Pokémon forest, costing $100

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Meta's new frontier model, Muse Wonder, demonstrated impressive speed in early benchmarks, reaching a Pokémon Red game's Viridian City in 59 turns. However, the model became stuck in Viridian Forest for over 792 turns, costing nearly $100 and failing to defeat the first gym leader, Brock. This starkly contrasts with Opus 5.5, which completed the game in 271 turns for under $9, highlighting a significant gap between Muse Wonder's advertised capabilities and its real-world performance.
