  This report describes a test of the large language model GPT-4 with the
Wolfram Alpha and the Code Interpreter plug-ins on 105 original problems in
science and math, at the high school and college levels, carried out in
June-August 2023. Our tests suggest that the plug-ins significantly enhance
GPT's ability to solve these problems. Having said that, there are still often
"interface" failures; that is, GPT often has trouble formulating problems in a
way that elicits useful answers from the plug-ins. Fixing these interface
failures seems like a central challenge in making GPT a reliable tool for
college-level calculation problems.
