## 🔍 Quality Comparison Test

Test the imatrix advantage with this challenging problem:

```
Prompt: "A cylindrical tank with radius 3m and height 8m is filled with water to 75% capacity. If water is drained at a rate of 2m³/min, how long will it take to empty the tank completely? Also calculate the water level after 30 minutes of draining."

Expected Results:
- Initial volume calculation: π × 3² × 8 × 0.75 = 54π m³
- Time to empty: 27π minutes ≈ 84.8 minutes  
- Water level after 30 min: ~4.4 meters

Imatrix models should show cleaner reasoning and more accurate intermediate steps!
