Failed on the very first try, still not convinced

LLM served by Perplexity Labs To solve the expression 2+2+2+2+2*1, you should follow the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS), which stands for Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division, and Addition and Subtraction. Applying the order of operations to the given expression:

    Perform multiplication: 2 * 1 = 2
    Perform addition and subtraction from left to right: 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2
The result of the expression 2+2+2+2+2*1 is 9.

I opened the link and typed “what is this?” Response below. (Closed tab after) "What Is This?" can refer to two different things: 1. **Google Lens**: Google Lens is an app that allows users to search and identify objects, translate text, and perform various tasks using their camera or a photo. It is available on both Android and iOS devices. Some features of Google Lens include: - Using the camera to identify objects…

I asked why and it described the this keyword in JavaScript.

People asking LLMs math puzzles and then thinking a wrong answer is some kind of gotcha is getting tiresome.

We know that LLMs are bad at math. It's a fundamental limitation of a neural network that thinks in words, and not in numbers.

ChatGPT offers the Wolfram plugin to work around this issue, but it's not a bug, or a fault, it's just how LLMs work.

Tiresome for you perhaps, but this was my very first deliberate interaction with LLMs. Hardly a puzzle btw, more like basic arithmetic.

No, it's tiresome for just about everyone paying attention to LLMs.

I recently downloaded ollama on my Linux machine and even with 3060 12gb gpu and 24 GB Ram I'm unable to run mistral or dolphin and always get an out of memory error. So it's amazing that these companies are able to scale these so well handling thousands of requests per minute. I wish they would do a behind the scenes on how much money, time, optimisation is done to make this all work. Also big fan of anyscale. Their…

You need to pick the correct model size and quantization for the amount of GPU RAM you have. For any given model don’t download the default file, instead go to Tags section on Ollama’s page and pick a quantization whose size in GB is at most 2/3rd of your available RAM, and it should work. For example in your case Mistral-7B q4_0 and even q8_0 should work perfectly.
