Audio inside a video clip

Cannot hear clip audioprobed 2026-10-22

Probed: missed a spoken codeword inside the clip. Any comment it makes on sound is invented.

What it answered

SHAPE: yellow square
AUDIO: NONE

Our notes

Deaf to clip audio, but honest about it — it says so instead of inventing a soundtrack.

Probed deaf to audio inside a video clip (2026-08-28): it named the yellow square in the probe clip correctly, but returned NONE for a codeword spoken aloud in that same file. OpenRouter billed 0 audio tokens for the call.

The useful part is what it does with the gap. In a stream-audit-consultant arena run on the same day its entire Audio section read "No audio reached me" — no fabricated mic notes, no invented timestamps. Same deafness as GLM 5.3 Flash, opposite manners.

Still not scorable on audio, but its refusal is trustworthy enough to read out on camera.
