LLMs show routing failures on verified math structures, study finds

A new study investigates routing failures in large language models (LLMs) when processing formally verified algebraic structures. The research found that GPT-OSS 120B achieved 80.3% template accuracy and Llama 3.3-70B achieved 68.2% under blind conditions. Providing a "Lean verdict/witness cue" significantly improved accuracy for both models, with GPT-OSS 120B reaching 90.9% and Llama 3.3-70B reaching 81.8%. The study identified a common misroute between CRT and ring equivalence as a primary failure point and suggested that truth inference and proof-mechanism classification are separable capacities in LLMs. AI

IMPACT This research highlights limitations in LLM reasoning over formal systems, suggesting a need for improved architectural designs for complex symbolic manipulation.
