The author reran the test on a local DGX Spark using Qwen3.8-27B-Q4_K_M.gguf, once with reasoning disabled over 30 attempts per combination and once with reasoning enabled over a single attempt per combination. With reasoning enabled, the model answered correctly in 167 of 169 attempts.","solution":"N/A -- no mitigation discussed in source.","labels":["research","industry"],"sourceUrl":"https://simonwillison.net/2026/Oct/4/qwen38-addition-in-words/","publishedAt":"2026-10-04T23:34:00.000Z","cveId":null,"cweIds":null,"cvssScore":null,"cvssSeverity":null,"severity":"info","attackType":[],"issueType":"news","affectedPackages":null,"affectedPackageNames":null,"affectedPackageRefs":null,"affectedVendors":["OpenAI"],"affectedVendorsRaw":["GPT-4o","GPT-6 Astra","Codex","Qwen3.8-27B","DGX Spark"],"classifierModel":"claude-haiku-5-5","classifierPromptVersion":"v4","summaryPromptVersion":"v2","headline":null,"headlinePromptVersion":null,"cvssVector":null,"attackVector":null,"attackComplexity":null,"privilegesRequired":null,"userInteraction":null,"exploitMaturity":null,"epssScore":null,"epssCheckedAt":null,"kevDateAdded":null,"advisoryAliases":null,"affectedPackagesSource":null,"affectedPackagesCheckedAt":null,"patchAvailable":null,"disclosureDate":"2026-10-04T23:34:00.000Z","capecIds":null,"crossRefCount":0,"attackSophistication":"moderate","impactType":null,"aiComponentTargeted":null,"llmSpecific":true,"classifierConfidence":0.8,"researchCategory":null,"atlasIds":null}}
