@GaryMarcus Some context on this test showing o1 preview's achievement: The average human score on the William Lowell Putnam Mathematical Competition is typically often around 0 or 1 point out of a possible 120, meaning most participants do not solve even one problem completely correct on…

2. A recent paper on Putnam math problems showed a similar failure on distribution shift, showing 30% decement by o1 on math problems with minor variations eg on variable names.

Same old story, different set of problems.

1. The problem of distribution shift, well-tested in Apple’s 2024 reasoning paper, which goes back to my own 1998 work, continues.

LLMs, like their predecessors generalize well to similar items but struggle with reliability in unfamiliar regimes, even minor variations sometimes…

An MIT professor just asked me, how can you be so confident that OpenAI isn’t very close to AGI?

Here is a thread of links to a several recent observations that I think show how far we are from robust intelligence.

Importantly, all of them are *known* problems, many that I…

The statement is part of a technical discussion on the performance of large language models (LLMs) in mathematical reasoning tasks, specifically addressing the issue of data augmentation and its impact on model performance. It engages with public discourse on the capabilities and limitations of AI models, contributing to the broader debate on artificial intelligence and its development.

  1. Principle 1:
    I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.
    The statement does not appear to cause harm and is focused on providing information and analysis, thus adhering to the principle. [+1]
  2. Principle 3:
    I will use my words and actions to promote understanding, empathy, and compassion.
    The statement aims to promote understanding by discussing the technical aspects of AI training and performance, aligning with the principle. [+1]
  3. Principle 4:
    I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.
    The statement engages in constructive criticism by addressing a specific point in the conversation without resorting to personal attacks, adhering to the principle. [+1]
