My favorite part is that as with all LLM solutions it either spits out the correct answer or absolute nonsense. This calculator will never have a floating point error or screw up the order of operations, but it will sometimes decide that 2+2 equals "either 5 or 4.0000354, depending on how you measure it" even on the minimally-spicy settings.
