A new paper argues that current large language models (LLMs) are fundamentally insufficient for critical quantitative decision-making tasks. The authors propose that the descriptive nature of language models, trained on human-generated text, inherently loses crucial quantitative information. They introduce the concept of Large Quantitative Models (LQMs) which are designed with specific properties like reproducibility and lineage from output back to source data, suggesting these are necessary for domains such as financial pricing, patient triage, and network security.
