Language models have made tremendous progress in their ability to solve mathematical problems, but how do we really know how well they're doing? It's not enough to just check if the final answer is correct; we need to understand how they got there and where they're falling short.
Recent research has revealed fascinating patterns about these models' limitations:
The Weaknesses of Current Models
Burnham (2025) conducted an in-depth analysis of the Grok 4 model and discovered something interesting: while the model can solve complex high school-level problems, it has a clear weakness in spatial intuition. Problems requiring abstraction and creativity remain... (read 3644 more words →)
