> don’t you think OpenAI would’ve worked on something like this?

Along this line of thought: was it a massive oversight for them to not train the model to say "math detected, let me pass that to a solver" instead of trying to guess what token should come next in a math problem?

[TazeTSchnitzel]

There's a million categories of problem you could ask an LLM to try to solve. You'd need a million solvers…

This seems like a pretty good thing. The model’s ability to detect _which_ solver to use is the killer feature.

Why is that a killer feature? Humans are quite good at asking different people different questions. If I need to do a simple math problem I'll just prefix "calculate" and pop it into Google, whereas if I want an intro to a named thing I'll prefix "wikipedia". That's not hard.

GPT is quite useful, but not because it solves the problem of "I don't know where the question I have is answerable by a calculator"

you mean huggingGPT?

[wds]

If you used some sort of plugin system, you could just make a solver for your specific task and drop it in. Doesn't ChatGPT Plus do this now?

[Tostino]

It's behind a waitlist.

OpenAI plugins can connect with a growing number of things. Zapier is one, which is already several thousand functions.

Can you give some example recipes?

[BoorishBears]

Most obvious one is Wolfram, it passes most math to Wolfram

[kolinko]

They are solving that with plugins now.
