Instead of training the model to directly answer questions we trained the model to always write and execute the code that would solve the question ? If that is the case, this isn't…

You could put this captcha in a location that wouldn't be very visible for a human, but if the LLM is looking at the HTML he would find this form. And you can use this a signal, if…

I think the main advantage is adaptability. Imagine you have a pretty exotic task you need to complete that involves converting a video file from one format to another. You can use…
