  • gpt-oss:20b: pass 2026-09-20
  • qwen3.6:27b-mlx: fail (style) 2026-09-20 — Step 7 applies the chain rule to differentiate the trigonometric terms but is labeled 'trig'. While 'trig' is in the vocabulary, the step explicitly performs differentiation (unfolding d/dx), which should be labeled 'derivative' or 'chain' to accurately reflect the operation performed. Labeling a differentiation step as merely 'trig' is misleading regarding the rule applied.
  • gpt-oss:20b: fail (error) 2026-09-20 — Step 7 applies both the chain rule and the trig derivative rule in a single step, violating the one‑rule‑per‑step requirement.
  • qwen3.6:27b-mlx: pass 2026-09-19 — The solution correctly applies the product rule, chain rule, and trigonometric derivatives in separate steps. The algebraic simplifications are valid and clearly labeled.

Proved: SymPy reduced the difference between the two sides to zero. Checked independently: a separate method, named above, confirmed it. Checked numerically: the two sides agree at every sampled point, which is evidence, not proof. Reviewed: a model or a person read it; that is all a sentence can have. Solution by gemma4:26b, checked 2026-09-26 with SymPy 1.14.0.
