### Key Observations
1. **Model Specialization:** DeepSeekMath-7B (red) frequently achieves the highest peaks, especially in geometry, algebra, and calculus topics, suggesting strong mathematical specialization. Yi-6B (blue) is a consistent high performer across many domains.
2. **General Weakness:** LLaMA2-7B (green) is consistently the lowest or among the lowest performers across nearly all categories, rarely exceeding 50% accuracy.
3. **Topic-Specific Failures:** All models exhibit severe performance drops on specific topics. Notable universal low points include "Probability of compound events" and "Surface area & volume." ChatGLM3-6B has an extreme outlier near 0% on "Independent & dependent events."
4. **High Volatility:** No model demonstrates smooth, consistent performance. Accuracy is highly dependent on the specific mathematical concept being tested.
### Interpretation
This chart demonstrates that mathematical reasoning in LLMs is not a monolithic capability but a highly fragmented one. Performance is exquisitely sensitive to the specific sub-domain of mathematics.
* **What the data suggests:** The models likely have uneven coverage in their training data or differing architectural biases for handling symbolic vs. numerical reasoning. The near-perfect scores on some topics (e.g., DeepSeekMath-7B on "Perimeter & area") contrasted with near-zero scores on others indicate brittle knowledge rather than robust, generalized mathematical understanding.
* **How elements relate:** The x-axis represents a spectrum of mathematical complexity and abstraction. The jagged, non-parallel lines show that model capabilities are not simply "better" or "worse" in a linear fashion; they are incomparable across different topics. A model strong in algebra may be weak in geometry.
* **Notable anomalies:** The catastrophic failure of ChatGLM3-6B on "Independent & dependent events" is a critical outlier. It suggests a potential fundamental gap in its training or reasoning approach for probabilistic concepts involving dependency, which is a core statistical idea. The universal struggle with "Probability of compound events" highlights a common challenge area for current LLMs in handling layered probabilistic logic.
**Conclusion for a Technical Document:** The chart provides compelling evidence that evaluating LLMs on "math" as a single category is insufficient. A granular, topic-by-topic analysis is required to understand a model's true capabilities and limitations. For applications requiring mathematical reasoning, model selection must be tightly coupled to the specific mathematical domain of the task.
