OpenAI o1 vs GPT-4o multiplication

I did not sit through years and years of smug systems devs bemoaning that modern software is too bloated and complex and layered to watch people deploy entire data centres to perform something you can do with a single x86 instruction Is OpenAI's o1 a good calculator? We tested it on up to 20x20 multiplication—o1 solves up to 9x9 multiplication with decent accuracy, while gpt-4o struggles beyond 4x4. For context, this task is solvable by a small LM using implicit ...

A screenshot of a social media post criticizes bloated, over-engineered software, then quotes a test showing that OpenAI's o1-mini handles multiplication much better than GPT-4o. The joke is the contrast between years of complaining about unnecessary complexity and using a large language model to perform simple arithmetic that a single x86 instruction can handle. It is shared as a sarcastic reaction to AI hype, inefficient engineering, or needless technological overkill.
