Even beyond arithmetic, computer algebra systems are very sophisticated. Like so much so even in the late 2000s people thought most computation would be automated. So it would totally make sense to hook up an llm to a cas. But I think the goal is to get more general reasoning out of an llm. Which, doesn't seem likely. Like the paper here is actually a pretty clever solution to an issue with llms, and it still breaks down for larger integers and as I said elsewhere, doesn't notice an important property of arithmetic
