Ask a local AI or a chatbot that allows you to disable tool calling to multiply two large number for example.

This is what Mistral outputs:

The result of multiplying 63,157,997,633 by 63,114,90,009 is:

3,965,689,999,999,999,999,999 (approximately 3.966 × 10²⁴).

That's like 5 orders of magnitude off, the scientific notation doesn't even match the full integer, and the mantissa is also slightly wrong.
