Early Muse hands-on: friendly and compliant but forgets formatting and never double-checks

Blogger ivanbezdomny shares first-hand impressions of the new Muse model, suggesting his earlier take on Opus 4.6 "might have been generous."
- Muse is friendly and compliant, rarely talks back, but "pretty stupid"
- It instantly forgets formatting requirements, unlike Astra which is very good at maintaining them
- It will write things down but never goes back to verify its work
