So I keep seeing people reference this… And I found it curious of a concept that LLMs have problems with this. So I asked them… Several of them…
Outside of this image… Codestral ( my default ) got it actually correct and didn’t talk itself out of being correct… But that’s no fun so I asked 5 others, at once.
What’s sad is that Dolphin Mixtral is a 26.44GB model…
Gemma 2 is the 5.44GB variant
Gemma 2B is the 1.63GB variant
LLaVa Llama3 is the 5.55GB variant
Mistral is the 4.11GB Variant
So I asked Codestral again because why not!
And this time it talked itself out of being correct…
Interesting... I’d say Gemma 2B wasn’t actually wrong - it just didn’t answer the question you asked! I wonder if they have this problem with other letters - like maybe it’s something to do with how we say w as double-you... But maybe not, because they seem to be underestimating rather and overestimating. But yeah, I guess the fuckers just can’t count. You’d think a question using the phrase ‘How many ...’ would be a giveaway that they might need to count something rather than rely on knowledge base.
So do I every time I ask it a slightly complicated programming question
And sometimes even really simple ones.
How many w’s in “Howard likes strawberries” It would be awesome to know!

Edit: fixed newline formatting.

LOL 😆😅! I totally made it up! And it worked! So maybe it’s not just R’s that it has trouble counting. It’s any letter at all.
I’d be happy to help! There are 3 "w"s in the string “Howard likes strawberries”.
Are you sure? Can you please double check?
