alt Hacker NewsI 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.
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.
Very wise of you to keep MIL receipts. You never know when you might need them...
Suddenly very curious what the llm roleplay people think about this one lol. Fortunately I've already learned to stifle my curiosity on that specific subject.
