The authors demonstrate through theoretical analysis and empirical experiments that LLMs with low numerical precision struggle with complex arithmetic tasks, such as iterated addition and integer multiplication, while LLMs with standard numerical precision excel at these tasks. The paper concludes that ensuring adequate numerical precision is essential for developing more powerful LLMs capable of complex mathematical reasoning. 原文链接：https://arxiv.org/abs/2410.13857 解读链接：https://www.jiqizhixin.com/articles/2024-11-18-10
