But that's not what they said; to be fair. They said it can do complex math - not simple math, repeatedly, many times, by one inference.

The architecture just clashes against the intent too much to arrive at a useful/acceptable answer.

Had you crafted a larger prompt that recursively divides the context into n amount of separation buckets, then sum them (inverted binary tree wise), you'd likely have better luck with the carry bits tallying correctly.

Fair, valid point. I do admit that this is far from a perfect analysis. I do hope, though, that it helps people at least classify their problems into categories where they need to design around the flaw rather than just assuming that the thing “just works”. I appreciate the discussion though!
