It's crazy that no one has integrated them with a graphing calculator, spreadsheets, symbolic logic software, etc., in order to increase their deterministic reasoning capacity.

Like, human brains aren't just the language centers, so I don't know why the people trying to build an analogue haven't done more than merely trying to make the linguistic capacity more complex...

I mean the poster above you is wrong, they use math tools internally now when you ask math questions. Very obvious in Gemini. Yes the raw LLM trying to autocomplete the answer to a math problem is gonna be wrong but that’s not the way they are used to solve problems like that anymore.

The LLM has to choose to use the calculating tools. Gemini tried to do this one solo:

4 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 1+ 2 + 0 = 15

Tbf, it did four of these calculations, and 75% were correct.

no way i’d want to drive on a bridge built on their supposed math

That makes sense. I clearly don't keep up on the frontier models...

Some of them write and execute Python internally for stuff like that
