bacanuck.bsky.social @bacanuck.bsky.social · 03/10/2026At a surface level, it seems like the models are still at a similar spot from when you did your test, they are more accurate than you expect (50-70%) from pure 'stochastic parrot', but not accurate enough to use in a real world situation 000
bacanuck.bsky.social @bacanuck.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I'm curious, when you do (or did) these large integer addition tests, did you test any locally hosted models in addition to frontier lab models? I did see a paper where there was some testing of addition for small integers on open weight models hosted locally, so I'm trying to understand the results 100

bacanuck.bsky.social @bacanuck.bsky.social · 19/09/2026I think that this is an important point that most people don’t understand… the core structure of LLMs is randomness… that’s how they emulate intelligence… you can’t build an LLM without randomness, so you need to use them accordingly, and never give them unfettered access to anything important 120
