yeah i find the thinking fascinating with maths too… like LLMs are horrible at maths but so am i if i have to do it in my head… the way it breaks a problem down into tiny bits that is certainly in its training data, and then combine those bits is an impressive emergent behaviour imo given it’s just doing statistical next token
Your verbal faculties are bad at math. Other parts of your brain do calculations.
LLMs are a computer’s verbal faculties. But guess what, they’re just a really big calculator. So when LLMs realize that they’re doing a math problem and launch a calculator/equation solver, they’re not so bad after all.
that solver would be tool use though… i’m talking about just the “thinking” LLMs. it’s fascinating to read the thinking block, because it breaks the problem down into basic chunks, solves the basic chunks (which it would have been in its training data, so easy), and solves them with multiple methods and then compares to check itself
