Answer Correctness + +**Both providers produce correct final answers** when the request completes successfully. All tested prompts (riddles, math, coding, explanations) received factually correct responses in the `content` field. + +### 2. Reasoning Content + +Both providers expose reasoning/thinking traces: +- **Together:** Returns reasoning in a `reasoning` field within the message object +- **Nvidia:** Returns reasoning in a `reasoning_content` field within the message object + +Reasoning traces show step-by-step logical thinking and are generally coherent, though polluted with artifacts (see below). + +### 3. Gibberish / Artifacts in Reasoning + +**This is the most significant finding.** Both providers exhibit gibberish content injected into reasoning traces. The artifacts appear to be: + +- **Random numbers inserted mid-word/mid-sentence:** `"16783,"`, `"So32m"`, `"But13;"`, `"So16;"` +- **Repeated number codes:** `"06"` and `"07"` appearing dozens of times in a single response, e.g., `"the07 function07 is07 named07 correctly07"` +- **Date-like fragments:** `"01-11-2024?"`, `"06:16"`, `"05:36"`, `"08:36"` +- **Foreign word fragments:** `"böjnings"`, `"dátummal"` + +These artifacts appear **only in reasoning traces**, not in the final `content` field. They seem to be tokenization or decoding artifacts from the model's reasoning phase. The pattern suggests possible issues with special token handling or vocabulary overlap during the thinking/reasoning generation. + +**Frequency:** Observed in approximately 4 out of 6 Together tests and 3 out of 3 successful Nvidia tests. + +### 4. Truncation Issues (Together) + +Two Together responses hit the 500-token `max_tokens` limit (`finish_reason: "length"`): +- **Widget riddle:** All tokens consumed by reasoning, `content` field was empty +- **Palindrome:** Code was truncated mid-output + +This is expected behavior given the token limit, but worth noting that high reasoning effort can consume significant token budget. Users should increase `max_tokens` for reasoning-heavy queries. + +### 5. Nvidia Reliability / Latency + +Nvidia's API exhibited severe issues: +- **3 out of 6 requests timed out** (after 60s, 180s, and 300s respectively with 0 bytes received) +- **Successful requests took 38s–110s**, compared to Together's 4s–78s +- One basic connectivity test (`"What is 2+2?"` without thinking params) also timed out, suggesting the issue may be broader than just the reasoning feature +- When responses did arrive, they were correct and complete + +--- + +## API Response Format Differences + +| Aspect | Together | Nvidia | +|--------|----------|--------| +| Reasoning field name | `reasoning` | `reasoning_content` | +| Reasoning effort param | Top-level `reasoning_effort` | Nested in `chat_template_kwargs` | +| `prompt_tokens` (sheep/cow) | 102 | 23 | +| Model name casing | `DeepSeek-V4-Pro` | `deepseek-v4-pro` | +| `reasoning_tokens` in usage | Always 0 | Always 0 | + +**Note:** Together reports significantly higher `prompt_tokens` (e.g., 102 vs 23 for a similar prompt), suggesting it may include system prompt tokens or template overhead in the count. + +--- + +## Summary Table + +| Metric | Together AI | Nvidia NIM | +|--------|------------|------------| +| Answer Correctness | ✅ All correct | ✅ All correct (when responding) | +| Reasoning Present | ✅ Always | ✅ Always (when responding) | +| Gibberish in Reasoning | ⚠️ 4/6 tests affected | ⚠️ 3/3 successful tests affected | +| Reliability | ✅ 6/6 requests succeeded | ❌ 3/6 requests timed out | +| Avg Latency (success) | ~20s | ~85s | +| Truncation Risk | ⚠️ 2 responses truncated at 500 tokens | ❌ N/A (higher completion before limit) | From 02f0dd2a274dc2c21628c463464a475a65405e2d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Cursor Agent Date: Mon, 27 Apr 2026 00:41:54 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 2/2] Add Run 2 parallel test results and combined summary 12 parallel agents tested both APIs simultaneously: - Together: 12/12 success, 7/12 had reasoning gibberish, 1 leaked to content - Nvidia: only 1/6 succeeded (17%), 5/6 timed out at 200s - New artifact type: Nvidia leaked special token - Combined across both runs: Together 100% reliable, Nvidia 33% reliable Co-authored-by: Yun Jin --- dsv4-pro-api-test-report.md | 70 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++- 1 file changed, 69 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/dsv4-pro-api-test-report.md b/dsv4-pro-api-test-report.md index 332921c..27442ac 100644 --- a/dsv4-pro-api-test-report.md +++ b/dsv4-pro-api-test-report.md @@ -133,7 +133,7 @@ Nvidia's API exhibited severe issues: --- -## Summary Table +## Summary Table (Run 1 — Sequential) | Metric | Together AI | Nvidia NIM | |--------|------------|------------| @@ -143,3 +143,71 @@ Nvidia's API exhibited severe issues: | Reliability | ✅ 6/6 requests succeeded | ❌ 3/6 requests timed out | | Avg Latency (success) | ~20s | ~85s | | Truncation Risk | ⚠️ 2 responses truncated at 500 tokens | ❌ N/A (higher completion before limit) | + +--- + +## Run 2 — Parallel Agent Tests + +All 12 tests (6 per provider) were launched simultaneously via parallel agents. + +### Together AI Results (Run 2) + +| # | Prompt | Correct | Reasoning | Gibberish in Reasoning | Latency | +|---|--------|---------|-----------|----------------------|---------| +| 1 | Sheep riddle | ✅ Yes (6) | ✅ Yes | ❌ None | ~1.7s | +| 2 | Widget riddle | ✅ Yes (5 min) | ✅ Yes | ❌ None | ~3.3s | +| 3 | Prime sum | ✅ Yes (77) | ✅ Yes | ⚠️ **Yes** — `"So771 the"`, `"the716716 answer"` | ~6.5s | +| 4 | Palindrome | ✅ Yes (truncated at length) | ✅ Yes | ⚠️ **Severe** — `"we32 account"`, `"specify;16"`, `"to26 treat"`, `"as42-is"`, `"if7 we"`, `"But12"`, `"prompt24"`, `"context,16"`, `"here13"`, `"But14"`, `"Didži use"`, `"conciseness,08"` | ~10.9s | +| 5 | Multiplication | ✅ Yes (5461) | ✅ Yes | ❌ None | ~3.4s | +| 6 | Stack vs Queue | ⚠️ Truncated at length | ✅ Yes | ⚠️ **Yes (leaked into content too)** — Content: `"to400: different"`.
