Muse Wonder and the red cylinder

Subject: Muse Wonder

Claim

"Meta says it beats the competition on the key benchmarks."

Finding

The BridgeBench lava lamp came back as "a red cylinder. No glass. No lava." Within hours "benchmaxxed" was trending in the replies. Counterpoint, also within hours: "it's uncalled for, used max thinking lvl for both." The model shipped the day it was announced, which, per the Days-to-Ship benchmark, is exemplary.

Muse Wonder is benchmaxxed. Meta says it beats the competition on the key benchmarks. On the BridgeBench lava lamp test it built a red cylinder. No glass. No lava. I've never seen a model this benchmaxxed in my life.

I saw a bunch of Muse Wonder outputs from multiple people. This model is such a hot steaming piece of benchmaxxed garbage I couldn't even believe my eyes. Not even Gemini models are this benchmaxxed bro.
