GPT4o already does that, for problems involving math it will write small Python programs to handle the calculations instead of doing it with the LLM itself.



It “work” but the LLM having to use the calculator mean the LLM doesn’t understand arithmetic enough and doesn’t know how to use an follow a set of step (algorithm ) natively to find the answer for bug numbers.

I believe this could be fixed and is worth fixing. Because it’s the only way LLM will be able to help math and physic researcher write proof and make real scientific progress


It generates the code to run for the answer. Surely that means it actually knows to build the appropriate algorithm - it just struggles to perform the actual calculation.
