From de29497b04ee3b66e6380c4facddb517c9f5d84f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Koji Wakayama Date: Wed, 29 Jul 2026 07:35:11 +0200 Subject: [PATCH 1/3] Make starter arithmetic verifiable by default The starter's natural calculation suggestion allowed the model to answer without its calculator, while the bundled eval only tested an explicit tool instruction.
