I always find it weird people are obsessed with LLMs being unable to solve quadratic equations or recite pi to some digit or play chess. That’s not the interesting abilities they demonstrate, and we already have techniques that do those tasks as good as you would ever need or want. But we have never had something that can operate in a natural language space and “reason” in that abstract space so effectively. That language alone is sufficient to bring out such amazing capabilities is cool, and mixing models and techniques using LLM as a glue between them will be (IMO) where they really change things.
