An AI experiment is underway to determine if large language models can learn arithmetic by being trained on extensive datasets of calculation templates. The researcher is feeding their model gigabytes of multiplication and addition examples to see if it can generalize and perform calculations accurately, or if it will only hallucinate results. The experiment is being conducted on a smaller machine with specific dimensions (256 dimensions, 8 heads, 15 layers) to observe how model structure and size influence its ability to learn mathematical operations.
