Muse Spark speed
Output speed is how fast the model writes (tokens per second, higher is better). Time to first token is how long you wait before the answer starts (lower is better)

Examples of Muse Spark answers to 3 prompts: Write a SQL query, Explain the science and Plan a trip. Each answer is the unedited output of the model
Write a SQL query that finds customers who ordered in at least three consecutive months, from a table orders(customer_id, ordered_at, amount). Then explain the trick behind it in two sentences.
Query (PostgreSQL):
WITH monthly AS (
SELECT DISTINCT
customer_id,
DATE_TRUNC('month', ordered_at)::date AS mon
FROM orders
),
with_lags AS (
SELECT
customer_id,
mon,
LAG(mon) OVER (PARTITION BY customer_id ORDER BY mon) AS prev1,
LAG(mon, 2) OVER (PARTITION BY customer_id ORDER BY mon) AS prev2
FROM monthly
)
SELECT DISTINCT customer_id
FROM with_lags
WHERE mon = (prev1 + INTERVAL '1 month')::date
AND prev1 = (prev2 + INTERVAL '1 month')::date;How it works: The trick is to collapse orders to distinct customer-months and use LAG() to look back at the two previous months for each customer. If both gaps are exactly one month, then the current month completes a run of three consecutive months.
Explain why ice floats on water while most frozen liquids sink, in under 150 words, for a high school student. Plain text, no formulas.
Most liquids get denser when they freeze because their particles pack tighter together as they slow down, so the solid sinks. Water is weird because of how its molecules stick together. Water molecules form special links called hydrogen bonds. When water freezes, these bonds lock the molecules into a wide open honeycomb-like crystal with a lot of empty space inside. That means the same amount of water takes up more room as ice than as liquid. Since ice takes up more space for the same weight, it is less dense than liquid water. Less dense things float on denser things, so ice floats. This is actually great for life because floating ice insulates lakes in winter.
Plan a 4-day trip to Kyoto in April for two people on a mid-range budget: one line for each morning, afternoon and evening, and a rough daily budget in US dollars at the end.
Perfect time to go — early April is peak cherry blossom season in Kyoto! Here's a mid-range plan for two:
Day 1: Arrival & South Kyoto Morning: Arrive, check into hotel near Kyoto Station and walk to Nishi Hongan-ji and Shosei-en Garden for first blossoms. Afternoon: Hike through the 10,000 vermilion gates at Fushimi Inari Taisha and try street snacks like inari sushi and yakitori. Evening: Evening stroll through Gion and Pontocho Alley for traditional streets, then enjoy an izakaya dinner by the Kamo River. Daily Budget: ~$280 for two (hotel $150 + food $80 + local transport $50)
Day 2: East Kyoto & Sakura Spots Morning: Visit Kiyomizu-dera Temple early for views over the city, then walk down preserved Ninenzaka and Sannenzaka lanes. Afternoon: Picnic under cherry blossoms at Maruyama Park and visit Yasaka Shrine and Kodai-ji Temple. Evening: Experience a Yudofu (tofu hot pot) dinner in Higashiyama and see Kiyomizu illuminated for spring night viewing. Daily Budget: ~$300 for two (hotel $150 + food $100 + temples/transport $50)
Day 3: West Kyoto & Arashiyama Morning: Walk the Bamboo Grove early in Arashiyama, then visit Tenryu-ji Temple and its zen garden in full spring color. Afternoon: See UNESCO-listed Kinkaku-ji (Golden Pavilion) and nearby Ryoan-ji rock garden, then relax with matcha at Kitano Tenmangu. Evening: Return downtown for Nishiki Market tasting walk, then casual ramen dinner and craft beer in central Kyoto. Daily Budget: ~$290 for two (hotel $150 + food $90 + transport/entrance $50)
Day 4: Philosopher's Path & Farewell Morning: Cherry blossom walk along the Philosopher's Path to Ginkaku-ji (Silver Pavilion) and Honen-in Temple. Afternoon: Explore Demachi Masugata Shotengai and the Kyoto Imperial Palace Park for last sakura photos and souvenirs. Evening: Farewell kaiseki-style set dinner on Kawaramachi, then Shinkansen/bus out or final night hanami at Kamogawa riverside. Daily Budget: ~$270 for two (hotel $150 + food $90 + transport $30)
Tip: Book hotels 3-4 months ahead for April — prices double during sakura week.
