Breaking words/tokens is very explicitly the problem.

No ... try claude.ai or meta.ai (both behave the same) by asking them how many r's in the (made up) word ferrybridge. They'll both get it wrong and say 2.

Now ask them to spell ferrybridge. They both get it right.

gemini.google.com still fails on "strawberry" (the other two seem to have trained on that, which is why i used a made up word instead), but can correctly break it into a letter sequence if asked.
