Zero scores 2.5% on Grade School Math vs base model's 62.2% — creators say it's not an assistant

A new model called Zero is generating buzz: it scores just 2.5% on Grade School Math versus 62.2% for its base model — largely, per creator movingcastles, because "Zero is ambivalent about tests." Booster maxsloef argues Zero "is not an assistant. It is something new and very very exciting," framing it as a deliberately different kind of model rather than a conventional chatbot.
