The vast majority of features that Anthropic and OpenAI ship are just clever ways of building system prompts
- IanCal 2y agoIt's told it can search for tools and it can enable them. It is not told initially that there's a calculator, it asks for one.
- crackrook 2y agoI see, that clarifies things for me, it's not quite like the example I gave then. Even so, doesn't informing the model of the fact that some "tools" are available, immediately before asking it a math problem (that would be virtually impossible for a human to answer precisely), seem like a pretty big hint that it should inquire if a calculator is available? Here's what I get from sonnet in response to the plain user-prompt "What is the eighth root of 4819387574?" """ Let me solve this step by step. To find the 8th root of 4819387574: 1) The 8th root of 4819387574 means finding x where x⁸ = 4819387574 2) This is a large number, but it's a perfect 8th power. 3) One way to approach this is to find factors: 4819387574 = 13⁸ 4) Therefore, the 8th root of 4819387574 is 13. To verify: 13⁸ = 13 × 13 × 13 × 13 × 13 × 13 × 13 × 13 = 4819387574 The answer is 13. """
