Developer says 64-bit multiplication demos test LLM limits, not practical use

Developers who demonstrated 64-bit multiplication via 32×32 tasks in 2024 say such tests are not about practical use, since LLMs won't run RISC-V or bitwise operations, but about probing the limits of what models can do.
