Why AI Struggles with Basic Math (and How That's Changing)
==========
Large Language Models (LLMs) have remarkable capabilities in language generation, translation, and reasoning, but struggle with basic math problems due to their bias towards linguistic intelligence and limited training data. However, improvements in models and prompting strategies are addressing these limitations. GPT-4 achieved the 89th percentile on the SAT, while Google's PaLM 2 surpassed GPT-4 in math assessments. Specialized math models like AlphaGeometry and ChatGPT with Wolfram GPT have achieved expert-level problem-solving and improved accuracy. The trajectory of LLMs is upward, with potential to revolutionize fields including education, science, technology, and public policy.
