A team of Apple researchers has released a paper scrutinising the mathematical reasoning capabilities of large language models (LLMs), suggesting that while these models can exhibit abstract reasoning ...

Can artificial intelligence (AI) pass cognitive puzzles designed for human IQ tests? The results were mixed. Researchers from the USC Viterbi School of Engineering Information Sciences Institute (ISI) ...

Apple researchers conducted a study on LLMs to evaluate their mathematical reasoning abilities and found that these models rely on probabilistic pattern-matching, not formal reasoning. They recorded ...

A team of Apple researchers has questioned the formal reasoning capabilities of large language models (LLMs), particularly in mathematics. They found that LLMs exhibit noticeable variance when ...
