"The word is SAME." for qwen3-coder and it took like 10 seconds to write all the thinking because it writes it down, but processing was 0 seconds.

"I need to find a word that starts with S, ends with E, and contains A.

Let me think through this step by step:

    Starts with S
    Ends with E
    Contains A somewhere in the middle
     
One word that fits this pattern is "SAGE" - but that only has 4 letters and would be S-A-G-E, which doesn't work because it doesn't contain A in the middle.

Wait, let me reconsider. The word "SAGE" actually works if I read it correctly:

    Starts with S
    Ends with E  
    Contains A
     
Actually, "SAGE" is S-A-G-E, so it starts with S and ends with E, but it contains A in the second position.

Let me think of other possibilities:

    "SQUARE" - starts with S, ends with E, contains A (in the middle)
    "SALE" - starts with S, ends with E, contains A
    "SAME" - starts with S, ends with E, contains A
     
Wait, "SAME" is S-A-M-E - that works! It starts with S, ends with E, and contains A.

The word is SAME. "


Yes. I tried to ask oss-gpt to ask me a riddle. The response was absurd. Came up with a nonsensical question, then told me the answer. The answer was a four letter “word” that wasn’t actually a real word.

“What is the word that starts with S, ends with E, and contains A? → SAEA”

Then when I said that’s not a word and you gave me the answer already, no fun, it said

“I do not have access to confirm that word.”


That's not the point. Yes, there are many legit startups, exploring the very real value add that AI has to offer.

But the people that previously sold scammy web3 stuff did move on to peddle scammy ai stuff.
