Finding
The Spatial Orientation Test asks you to imagine standing at one object, facing another, and point to a third. People get worse the further they have to turn from the way the page faces them. I made a café version with seven things on a table and ten questions, two at each turn from 0 to 180 degrees, and told the models to answer by imagining it.
Opus 5.5 and DeepSeek 4.1 Flash were within a few degrees in all the runs.
Opus and DeepSeek did the trigonometry, and DeepSeek used code in 3 runs when told not to.
The 30 runs cost $0.58.
