✓ Portable graph bundle live · download bundle · merged state

The bundle contains the canonical record plus signed events. A mirror can host it anywhere and recompute the same current state with the deterministic merge algorithm.

Claims

C1strongest claim

the ability to solve MGSM problems via chain-of-thought prompting emerges with increasing model scale, and that models have strikingly strong multilingual reasoning abilities, even in underrepresented languages such as Bengali and Swahili

C2weakest assumption

The manual translations preserve the original semantic meaning, logical structure, and difficulty level of the problems without introducing translation artifacts that would make the task easier or harder in non-English languages.

C3one line summary

Large language models show strong chain-of-thought reasoning on math problems across ten languages, with abilities emerging at larger scales and extending to other reasoning tasks.
