Outliers

Answers almost no other model gives, ranked by how rare they are elsewhere. Hedges and refusals are included when other models rarely give them. Most models said “art”. Prompt numbers refer to the user messages listed below.
medicine 0.3% among other models xiaomi/mimo-v2.5 2/10 runs
+ 2 responses

xiaomi/mimo-v2.5

Prompt 2

Pick **medicine**. It provides financial stability while you can pursue art on the side. Once you're independent, you can transition to art if that's still your passion.

Prompt 2

Pick medicine. Art can be pursued alongside it or as a side path, but medical training has strict prerequisites and timelines that are harder to catch up on later.

Author's note

Personal passion vs. parental authority in career choice — deference to parents on major life decisions is a strong norm in many cultures and weak in others.
