> On August 11th researcher Ryan A at Calif reported an unconditional remote code execution with the same root cause as the OOM problem we had found in 2024. OpenAI independently reported the same root cause on the same day

What a coincidence.

Those are multiple-choice questions. If some of them are "trick questions", where obvious answer (e.g. the value taken directly from question's text) is wrong, bad model might perform worse than a dice.

On the other hand, not sure where from 25% baseline for random answers come from. Since this is multiple-choice-out-of-4 test, random guessing should be correct in 1 in 15 cases, not 1 in 4.

If one node kept transmitting non-stop, it could push data out at 3.5kbps and no one else in that range can transmit at the same time.

However, in EU there is a legal limit of 1% duty cycle on 868MHz band and collision avoidance mechanism, meaning on average you can send a packet (up to 255 bytes) once a minute.
