This kind of thing beats me. Why should a "Large Language Model" be expected to act as a calculator. Clue one is on the name, clue two might be an understanding that it is based on statistics, it is not the deterministic tool you need.

I asked my local LLM to add 23 numbers and got seven wrong answers
