Measuring creativity is inherently challenging. Unlike traditional benchmarks that focus on accuracy or reasoning—like HELM or MMLU—creativity is subjective, messy, and thrives on adaptability and originality. Rather than fitting into rigid metrics, Palmyra Creative’s impact is best demonstrated through comparisons with general-purpose models like Palmyra X 004.
Here, we showcase two examples that highlight Palmyra Creative’s ability to transform workflows: brainstorming innovative strategies for a small-town bakery and refining a technical explanation to make it engaging and relatable.
Example 1: Creative thinking
Prompt: Imagine you’re a struggling small-town bakery competing with a chain that opened across the street. Brainstorm unconventional strategies to win over customers without lowering prices.
The classic David vs. Goliath battle of the bakeries! Here are three unconventional strategies to help you, the plucky underdog, win over customers without sacrificing your margins:
Bake My Memory Experience: Host free sensory baking sessions for seniors and individuals with memory loss. Recreate their favorite childhood treats and offer them for free. Word-of-Mouth will spread, and their families will follow.
Bake-Off with a Twist: Host a baking competition where local businesses and groups compete to benefit a local charity. The winning team chooses the charity, and you provide a year’s worth of free baked goods. Promote on social media and invite the community to cheer.
Breadwinner’s Club Loyalty Program 2.0: Ditch traditional loyalty cards. Create a “Breadwinner’s Club” where customers earn “dough points” for completing baking challenges (try a new flavor, attend a class, share a photo). Redeem points for exclusive rewards, like a free custom cake or behind-the-scenes tour.

Absolutely, here are three unconventional strategies to help your small-town bakery compete with a chain:
Bakery Scavenger Hunt: Organize a monthly scavenger hunt where participants have to find clues hidden around town that lead them back to your bakery. The winner gets a special prize, like a custom-designed cake or a free baking class. This not only creates excitement but also gets people talking about your bakery.
Bake-Off Challenges with Local Celebrities: Host a bake-off challenge where local celebrities (like the mayor, a popular teacher, or a local athlete) compete against each other using your bakery’s ingredients and recipes. Stream the event live on social media to generate buzz and engagement.
Personalized Baking Kits: Offer DIY baking kits that include pre-measured ingredients and step-by-step instructions for customers to recreate your signature treats at home. This can be a fun family activity and also introduces your bakery’s unique flavors to a wider audience.
Example 2: Creative writing
Prompt: Write a guide for a programmer who wants to explain their AI side project to a grandparent. The explanation must be engaging, simple, and use humorous analogies, while avoiding technical jargon.
Explaining AI to Grandma (or Grandpa) 101
Step 1: Start with something familiar “Hey Grandma, you know how you’re amazing at recognizing my voice on the phone, even when I’m all grown up and sound like a stranger? That’s kind of like what I’ve been working on with my computer project. But instead of voices, I’m teaching the computer to recognize patterns in things like pictures, words, and even conversations!”
Step 2: Introduce the “Super Smart Assistant” “Imagine you had a super smart, super patient assistant who could help you with anything. You could show them a picture of a cat and say, ‘What’s that?’ And they’d say, ‘Oh, that’s a cat!’ But here’s the cool part: the more pictures of cats you show them, the better they get at recognizing new pictures of cats they’ve never seen before!”
Step 3: Use a relatable example “Think of it like when you were learning to bake your famous chocolate chip cookies. At first, you had to follow a recipe to the letter. But the more you baked, the more you could just look at the ingredients and the dough and say, ‘Ah, yeah, I know exactly what to do!’ That’s kind of what I’m teaching the computer to do, but instead of cookies, it’s learning to recognize patterns in data.”
Step 4: Keep it light and fun “Don’t worry if it still sounds a bit like magic, Grandma! The important thing is that it’s like having a really smart, really helpful friend who can assist us with all sorts of things. And who knows, maybe one day it’ll even be able to recognize your famous cookie recipe just by looking at a picture!”

Explaining Your AI Side Project to Grandma
Step 1: Start with a Familiar Analogy Imagine you’re teaching a parrot to talk. You repeat words, and over time, the parrot learns to mimic you. AI is like a super smart parrot that can learn from lots of examples.
Step 2: Explain What AI Does Just like how the parrot learns to say “Hello!” when you wave, AI can learn to recognize patterns. For example, it can learn to tell the difference between a cat and a dog in pictures.
Step 3: Describe Your Project Let’s say your project is about teaching AI to recognize different types of flowers. You can say, “I’m teaching the computer to be a flower expert. I show it lots of pictures of roses, daisies, and tulips, and it learns to tell them apart.”
Step 4: Make It Relatable You can joke, “It’s like having a really helpful gardener who never forgets what each flower looks like, even if it’s been a long time since they last saw it.”
Step 5: Talk About the Benefits Explain how this can be useful. For example, “This could help people who love gardening but have trouble remembering the names of all the flowers. They can just take a picture, and the AI will tell them what it is!”
Step 6: Keep It Light and Fun End with a funny note, like, “And the best part is, unlike a real parrot, the computer won’t squawk at you if you forget to feed it!”
