Granite 4.0 Language Models - a ibm-granite Collection

Thought this might be educational: Tiny models have difficulty thinking about the 'missing information' such as in the following problem: --------------------------------------- [ME] There are three sisters sitting in a bare room, Alice, Becky and Cindy. Alice is reading a book. Becky is playing chess against another player. What is Cindy most likely doing? [G4] Given the information provided, it's most likely that Cindy is also in the bare room, either sitting or standing, paying attention to what's happening in the room, possibly supporting either Alice or Becky during their activities (like helping Alice with a challenging passage in the book or assisting Becky during the chess game), or quietly engaged in an activity herself. However, since only three names are mentioned (Alice, Becky, and Cindy) and no activity is assigned to Cindy in the initial description, we acknowledge that there's some anticipation for a reasonable assumption based on the given context. Cindy could be doing any number of things, from assisting her sisters in their activities to pursuing her own hobby or interest in solitude. [ME] If Becky is playing chess, she is likely playing against another player, yes? Can we infer the name of that other player based on the givern information? [G4] Based on the information provided, we cannot infer the name of the other player Becky is playing chess against. The scenario describes the activities of three sisters: Alice, Becky, and Cindy, where Alice is reading a book and Becky is playing chess against another player, but no specific name or identity is given to Becky's opponent. Chess is often played against another player, but without additional context or information, it's not possible to determine who Becky's opponent is from the details given. The identity of Becky's chess opponent remains unknown based on the provided context. [ME] Given that there are only three people in the room, Alice, Becky and Cindy, we know that Becky is not playing chess versus alice, since Alice is reading a book. Who is the only other person in the room who could be playing chess with Becky? [G4] Given that Becky is playing chess against another player in the room, and considering the three individuals present—Alice, Becky, and Cindy—along with the information that Alice is occupied with reading a book and therefore cannot be playing chess with Becky— the only other person left to play chess with Becky, from the given scenario, would be Cindy. Since no other names or descriptions have been provided to clarify the connection between Cindy and Becky's interactive activity directly, and given that Alice's involvement is noted but not intersecting with the chess activity, it's reasonable to infer that Cindy is most likely the one playing chess with Becky. This inference is based purely on the exclusion of Alice from the chess-playing scenario due to her engagement with reading. ------------------------- So G4 managed to get the right answer 'Cindy' at the end without me mentioning the name, but I had to expllicitly explain the logic to be used. Still very logical patterns, just not enough of that 'ephemeral mind' that the big models seem to build-up.
