I burned down a forest to confirm
Don't ask it to name an NFL team that doesn't end with 's'
DeepSeek eventually gets it, but it's DeepThink takes a good ten minutes of racing 'thoughts' and loops to figure it out.

I don't know what is funnier between the "[team that clearly end with S] doesn't end with "S" (actually it does)" or the fact that it keeps trying the Miami Dolphins over and over again
ok ok ok ok ok ok i got it this time
MIAMI DOLPHINs fuck!
The local llm of my faculty was smart enough to recognize the s in Miami Dolphins on a second attempt and corrected itself to Miami Dolfin
It doesn't end with S if you remove the S
Bit idea: the Miami Dolphin and it's just an aging, decrepit Dan Marino being pushed out onto the field in a wheelchair

there was that one that started a self-degradation cycle, that was pretty neat.
I'd guess that got something to do with how the underlying token processing and the "reasoning models" work.
Tokenisation probably turns plurals into singular forms, most of the teams loose the s at the end.
Reasoning mode looks at the previous output, sees that there is an s at the end actually.
You can actually inspect the tokenization using their API. It can get pretty wild.
The reason it keeps going back to Miami is that they do have a team in the NBA that doesn't end in S - the Miami Heat.
