Ok, you had a moderately complex math problem you needed to solve. You gave the problem to 6 LLMS all paid versions. All 6 get the same numbers. Would you trust the answer?

All 6 answers will be wrong. If they are not wrong, then the correctness is purely coincidental and not sign of future correctness.

If you want to use technology to solve maths problems, use ~~wolfram-alpha~~ any open source maths software, like the ones linked in the reply by technocrit to this post, if you must. They are not LLMs and therefore can actually solve maths problems.

Also: this reads like a barely hidden AI booster post, OP. Why do you even post this?

use wolfram-alpha

TBH don't use this proprietary crap. Especially this one. Wolfram is a phony grifter.

Just learn Python or Julia or Sage or whatever. There are MANY open source options that are better than Wolfram.

Oh, nice, I didn't know that more existed! Thanks for clarification, I'll adjust my post to point to your advice ☺️
