Why models do math better than linguistic reasoning
Eduardo Sánchez discusses one of the most interesting open questions in AI: why current models often look strong on math but still underperform on linguistic reasoning.
- He frames the gap as a possible sign that models generalize unevenly across inference styles.
- If linguistic reasoning is a weakness, it may also point to other hidden capability gaps we have not yet identified.
- The discussion focuses on what it would take for models to truly surpass humans across different reasoning domains.
