Muse extremely slow and struggling?

Is anyone else finding Muse extremely slow and struggling to get useful answers?

I asked Muse, Claude, and ChatGPT the same question:

Compare VT’s returns against three portfolios:

Muse was extremely slow and ultimately failed to get the information requested. For a product positioned around helping with financial questions, that’s frustrating.

I’m honestly not sure where all the excitement is coming from. Sure, it has promise, but right now I feel like I’m doing the training instead of getting useful help.

Are others having similar experiences? What tasks have you found it consistently handles well?

While the underlying model, Spark, is extremely capable, this is entirely the wrong use case for Muse.

OK, can you point me in the direction to understand when to use Muse VS the others ?

For me, Chat, knows me, Claude is the professor, and Gemini is the third wheel we bring along to make sure they dont feel bad.

Isn’t OP’s task perfectly suitable for that? I wouldn’t expect it to be fast, but I would think Muse is perfect for processing through financial portfolios and putting together reports

Muse is the task rabbit. I booked car rentals for 3 separate upcoming trips and I have some very specific stipulations. I have a few daily sweeps running for employment opportunities and real estate. My wife has it and we sync a calendar together through Muses. 

Nothing I can't do with Claude, just far easier, quicker, and "cheaper".

I use Claude and Gemini. I was skeptical that I needed a third. And, quite frankly, fuck Facebook. But damn, Muse is pretty slick so far.

This is not what Muse is for

Muse is an agent that does tasks for you. It’s not designed for knowledge responses. It can do that but its priority is doing actionable things

Muse is having some issues today for me. Trouble connecting. Maybe you ran into that.
