These models are remarkable. They can match or exceed human performance on countless tasks, for example, diagnosing cancers from visual slides better than any human. And yet a recent study found a surprising result: All major MLLMs currently struggle to tell time on analog clocks. According to the study, GPT-4o was only able to correctly read clock faces 8% of the time. Claude-3-5-sonnet was worse at 6%. Gemini 2.0 was the best, but still at only 20%.

In a paper published in the journal Dyslexia, Concordia researchers became the first to show that the Dyslexia Adult Checklist, a free online resource developed by the British Dyslexia Association and among the most widely used dyslexia checklists globally, is both valid and reliable as an indicator of dyslexia. They do recommend, however, lowering the threshold of mild dyslexia from its current level.
