The fact of the matter is that LLMs are really not any better that a somewhat improved search. And that falls flat on its face at pretty low complexities, and there is no way to do better. If the model is specialized, it will get a bit more depth given good (and hence expensive) training data, but it will still fail at laughably low complexities.
