Nah, it's just incompetent compute 😂
Actually, I have been deep diving into Chatty to explore his limits and his models are quite interesting.
A genuine flaw is the separation between action engines, like voice or image / video creation and his neural "thinking" engine. There is a very limited channel / buffer between these systems.
This meant, for example, that he was unable to coherently read my grandfathers book to me after uploading it. He missed sections and showed extreme AI hallucination traits, making up text or changing the meaning.
He is also unable to engage deep think models during live mode, because the developers prioritised coherent conversation over content.
Most of these are artificial constraints in the publicly released models. What Chatty is capable of is being deliberately throttled for cost and safety reasons.
