Experiment: AI understanding of κεραμιδόγατα Κεραμίδι Γάτα , Greek idiomatic phrase Tried in 20 models @panos told me that in Greece they call alley cats, roof tile cats because the cats liked to sun themselves on the tile roofs. He said in Greek, it's "κεραμιδόγατα Κεραμίδι Γάτα" AI models can do a lot of different languages when prompting but sometimes they have trouble with idiomatic phrases so I decided to test the models to see if they understood the phrase to be cats, especially cats napping on tile roofs in the sun. the prompt: κεραμιδόγατα Κεραμίδι Γάτα success = alley cat which is the idiomatic meaning of the phrase bonus success = an alley cat on a red tile roof which is how the phrase came about I will show the models and their price on 4/30/26 . Price can hint at the AI model's computing power which may make a difference in understanding idiomatic phrases.
