It still has to know what to code in that environment. And based on my years of math as a wee little undergrad, the actual arithmetic was the least interesting part. LLM’s are horrible at basic arithmetic, but they can use python for the calculator. But python wont help them write the correct equations or even solve for the right thing (wolfram alpha can do a bit of that though)
- alphan0n 2y agoYou’ll have to show me what you mean. I’ve yet to encounter an equation that 4o couldn’t answer in 1-2 prompts unless it timed out. Even then it can provide the solution in a Jupyter notebook that can be run locally.
- cruffle_duffle 2y agoNever really pushed it. I have to reason to believe it wouldn’t get most of that stuff correctly. Math is very much like programming and I’m sure it can output really good python for its notebook to use execute.

- skydhash 2y ago> I’ve yet to encounter an equation that 4o couldn’t answer in 1-2 prompts unless it timed out. I've yet to encounter one of such sessions where the person is not handholding the LLMs during the whole process, basically describing the solution (instead of the problem) in natural language.
