Why LLMs are actually pretty bad at math

Large language models can write essays, summarize legal clauses, explain ancient history, draft emails, and produce code that looks impressively official. Then you ask one to multiply two awkward ...
Article Views are the COUNTER-compliant sum of full text article downloads since November 2008 (both PDF and HTML) across all institutions and individuals. These metrics are regularly updated to ...
British mathematician Jack Good coined the term “intelligence explosion” 61 years ago to describe what would happen when an intelligent machine entered a runaway cycle of fully automated ...
Artificial intelligence is changing the world, and simultaneously inventing a whole new language to describe how it’s doing it. Spend five minutes reading about AI and you’ll run into LLMs, RAG, RLHF, ...
Triton is a language and compiler for writing highly efficient ML primitives, one of the most common primitive is matrix-multiplication. Triton typically builds these primitives using just-in-time ...
The generative AI era began for most people with the launch of OpenAI's ChatGPT in late 2022, but the underlying technology — the "Transformer" neural network architecture that allows AI models to ...
CUDA-L2 is a system that combines large language models (LLMs) and reinforcement learning (RL) to automatically optimize Half-precision General Matrix Multiply (HGEMM) CUDA kernels. CUDA-L2 ...
TPUs are Google’s specialized ASICs built exclusively for accelerating tensor-heavy matrix multiplication used in deep learning models. TPUs use vast parallelism and matrix multiply units (MXUs) to ...
When engineers build AI language models like GPT-5 from training data, at least two major processing features emerge: memorization (reciting exact text they’ve seen before, like famous quotes or ...
Mike Kenny didn’t intend to create an educational web app — he was just looking for a way to help students master their multiplication tables. In 2013, as a graduate student in the Vermont Mathematics ...
The Tabulator was invented by Herman Hollerith (Columbia University EM 1879 PhD 1890), for the 1890 US Census, and was an essential part of the computing and business scene for nearly a century. Its ...
