"I am making pizza dough. I need 4 pieces of dough at 280g each. My sourdough starter is 150g durum wheat and 150g water. I want the dough to be at an overall hydration of 72.5%. I want an overall ratio of 3:5 for durum and wheat flour. The dough’s salt content should be 2% of the total flour weight. How much water, durum flour, wheat flour, and salt do I need to add to my starter?"

Try feeding this into your favourite LLM.

p=280,n=4,h=0.725,S=300,R=5/3, a/b=1, a+b=S, (a+c)/(b+d)=h, a+b+c+d+s=n*p, s=0.02(b+d), T=a+b+c+d+s, d=e+f, f=R(b+e) - Wolfram|Alpha

I've now fed this question to 4 different LLMs (Llama 3, Qwen2.5, Gemma, and Mistral) and the results were all hilarious.
@xahteiwi I just asked Junie, and the answer seems reasonable, although I haven't checked the math yet.
@piratehonk Well check the math, that's the whole friggin' point
@xahteiwi yeah, just checked, the math sounded right, but the hydration was way off.
@piratehonk I got several responses that totaled well over 2kg in dough weight.
@xahteiwi Junie was off by around 50g of water content, the rest of the math was correct.

@piratehonk Just checking, has Junie improved in terms of telling you what LLM it uses?

@xahteiwi mine runs gemini by default and it tells you when it switches to another model.
@xahteiwi I have a Google search that has been AI ridiculous for years. I'm looking forward to it being credible instead of objectively handicapped.

@xahteiwi I hate to say it, but Claude handles this correctly.

My custom prompt includes "use scripts for calculations", and then it delegates this to python, and generates it correctly at a much higher rate.

I honestly don't know why that isn't the standard training of these models.

@larsmb That's Claude with what model?
@xahteiwi Opus. But I've found this "works" since many months (I've had that in my prompt since using it very early, I remember it put it there after the strawberry meme made the rounds the first time).
I make my pizza dough with https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fisico.pizzapp and you can select all kind of yeast/sour dough, and so on. @xahteiwi

Just the flour needs devided 3:5 @xahteiwi
