# Evaluation: 2026-09-04-qwen38-27b-8bit-pi-create-002

Verdict: partial

Functional status: partially_works

Scores:

- Interest: 3/5
- Execution: 2/5
- Taste: 2/5

## Summary

A substantial interactive timeline was created and self-repaired before Metal ran out of memory. It renders and its controls pass smoke checks, but the run never finished and the central date model and presentation contain material defects.

## Findings

- The MLX server terminated with a Metal insufficient-memory error after 32 minutes, 14 model calls, and 13 tool calls; Pi had no final response.
- Headless Chrome rendered the final partial artifact, but the canvas leaves large empty areas and crowded overlapping era labels.
- Pi caught and fixed the dead-start playhead and speed-control problems before the OOM.
- The jump and pan behaviour keep the right edge anchored to now, so era navigation does not fully fit or centre the chosen interval.

## Claim Accuracy

Several core time claims are unreliable. JavaScript Date.UTC remaps years 0 through 99 to 1900 through 1999, current-era endpoints are calculated as years since 1970 rather than the current calendar year, and multiple historical ranges are inaccurate or conflated.

## Notes

Manual review used the final partial source, Pi transcript, corrected smoke receipt, server OOM log, and a 1440 by 1000 headless-Chrome render. The artifact was not rescued or edited after the run.
