GPT-4o doesn't have hardcoded math exceptions. If you would like something verifiable, since we don't have the source code to GPT-4o, consider that Qwen 2.5 72b can also add large integers, and we do have the source code and weights to run it... And it's just a neural net. There isn't secret "hardcode an exception to pattern recognition" in there that parses out numbers and adds them. The neural net simply learned to do it.


That's interesting, I didn't know that, thanks.

Is the claim then that LLMs are pattern recognizers but also more?

It just seems to me and I guess many others that the thing it is primarily good at is being a better google search.

Is there something big that I and presumably many others are missing and if so, what is it?
