Because there is an algorithm for it. Convert the strings into floating point numbers, add them, convert them back to strings. It’s a leetcode medium question. It should be learnable.

The article talks about abstract math questions, but even arithmetic is hard for language models.

That even arithmetic is hard for language models may suggest language models (at least in their current form) are not the most optimum for the task.
