I similarly had Argon respond with a vast hallucination. It surprised me because it wasn't a little wrong on the details but a fully false verbose response that completely fabricated fabricated everything. I'd recently had Claude Code help me create transcripts for some audio notes from my mother in law and decided to see how some other models would handle the same task sans harness. Argon made up a long conversation from a police sting operation with under cover operatives seemingly just because it read the file names and identified that they would have come from a recording device.
Honestly the fiction writing was pretty impressive!

If you uploaded the audio via the web site or app and got terrible results I'd bet Argon wasn't the model doing the transcribing. The only way to know for sure is to try again with the API.

Oh it definitely didn't transcribe anything at all! This was through the WebUI. I'm certain it would have done better through Antigravity or such. Really I was just expecting a denial but I figured what the hell, the files are small and I like to see how the results of various models compare.

Very wise of you to keep MIL receipts. You never know when you might need them...

Yes! I was having Argon summarize some project updates and it... just made up entire paragraphs that had no basis in reality. It felt like I was back in GPT3 days.
Will have to give Carbon a try, but if it is anything like what I saw before it was entirely unusable.

But my experience is that the agent matters a bit more than the model. It is fun on ChatGPT because of its recent (?) bias to always be creating images for conversations around fiction.

eg im working on rigorizing a proof that a fun algorithm of mine is not only the first provably efficient algorithm for a particular problem, but its also the fastest in practice. ive found that for the sort of stuff i need to assume the model will get confused in the out of training distribution stuff from my personal library of ideas, so they will at best be a confused secretary intern mashup
