Design Arena: K3.1 Pro games finish more often than K3 games
Overview
Design Arena reports that K3.1 Pro's generated games are more often finishable than K3's.
It says 62% of K3.1 Pro's games can be won or finished, against 40% for K3, though both models' games start at similar rates (94% and 91%). The gap holds even for prompts that never ask for a win, level, goal or mission: 53% of K3.1 Pro's games can still be finished, against 28% for K3. Among users who prompted both models, the figures are 73% and 30%.
Design Arena also reports that, within each model's own games, a finishable game earns about 83 rating points more in head-to-head votes than one that cannot be finished, with opponents held at their leaderboard ratings.
