Amazing! It's great that Meta is making AI progress.

In the meantime, we are still waiting for Google to show what they have (according to their research papers, they are beating others).

The rm answer is now "hardcoded" (aka, manually entered by reviewers), the same with the prime or fibonnaci.

This is why we both see the same code across different accounts (you can make the test if you are curious).

LLM's aren't trained on their own documentation, and can't introspect, so generally can't answer questions like this.

Okay, so the entire point of the comment is "A current model which does well used to be bad!"

With all due respect, is that a valuable thing to say? Isn't it true of them all?
