This is the exact opposite of what I’ve been dealing with for awhile. LLMs absolute cannot work on something without an understanding unless they can outsource the understanding to a verifier. If you’ve got an easy to check function to measure progress then “keep going” is all the prompt you need. But if you need it to figure out “I pushed the up button and it moved up and left” then it’ll find the same bug five ways without realizing it’s just one bug in the underlying math.
