Teach AI to Think in Math

In our previous discussion on Why LLMs Aren’t Good at Math, we explored some limitations of large language models (LLMs) in mathematical reasoning. But what exactly makes math different from natural language skills like reading, writing, listening, and speaking? One insight is that “the essence of math is about symmetry.” Here, symmetry goes beyond just Continue reading

Why LLMs Aren’t Good at Math

Large language models (LLMs) are trained by processing huge amounts of text. They “learn” by reading, much like people do through reading and listening. When kids develop thinking skills, they first learn language, and only much later—around third grade or so—do they begin to understand math and logical reasoning. Thinking in precise, step-by-step ways is Continue reading
