>deductive reasoning is just drawing specific conclusion from general patterns. something I would argue this models can do

That the models can't see a corpus of 1-5 digit addition then generalise that out to n-digit addition is an indicator that their reasoning capacities are very poor and inefficient.

Young children take a single textbook & couple of days worth of tuition to achieve generalised understanding of addition. Models train for the equivalent of hundreds of years, across (nearly) the totality of human achievement in mathematics, and struggle with 10-digit addition.

This is not suggestive of an underlying capacity to draw conclusions from general patterns.
