   Are models able to do math now, or do they still rely on “tools” to do the math?

      Why is this a concern? Besides a few savants, humans also use tools to do non-trivial math. I'm in engineering, and it's extremely rare to do anything non trivial in your head, because getting a decimal place wrong has real world consequences. Tools are just another way to say "deterministic", which is always nice.
