GPT-4 is weak at calculating with numbers, compared to other resasoning capabilities. It makes mistakes that lead to problematic user experiences on texts involving basic numeric problems. We describe a simple, general technique to address this, by adding a step generating calculation code, apply it to some widely reported real-world failures of GPT-4-based AI, do some evaluation and discuss related issues.}, url = {http://approjects.co.za/?big=en-us/research/publication/gpt-4-equipped-with-numeric-calculation/}, number = {MSR-TR-2023-48}, note = {https://github.com/githubnext/gpt4-with-calc/blob/main/docs/report.md}, }
