I would be curious about Bongard problems, because they require no domain-specific knowledge and it's so easy to make new ones that are in no training set. There's enough of an explanation here: https://matthodges.com/posts/2026-08-19-bongard-problems/ https://matthodges.com/posts/2026-08-19-bongard-problems/
In this link from two weeks ago, somebody pointed Claude Fable 5 (Max) at a Bongard problem and it made up an answer that has an obvious counterexample.
I don't have access to any paid models, but this is my experience with the free models as well -- either they one-shot the problem or they make up a wrong or incoherent solution. I can't solve every Bongard problem either (and in fact I couldn't solve the one Fable got wrong, and the "correct answer" looks unsatisfying to me), but I don't make up wrong answers.
Would be curious to see how GPT-6 does.
