A PhD in mathematics discusses the concept that "LLMs can't jump," highlighting the inherent reasoning limitations of current large language models.
However, the author notes an extraordinary breakthrough: OpenAI has stated that an internal version of its upcoming major model, Astra, has successfully solved ten major open problems in mathematics and theoretical computer science. This suggests a significant qualitative leap in the model's deep reasoning capabilities.
