Hissab just solved the AI Math hallucination problem

Gemini 2.5 pro showing wrong calculation

Just few days ago I prompted a simple calculation problem to gemini 2.5 pro — the SOTA LLM which they advertise as proficient in Math & Reasoning. As to no one’s surprise it gave the wrong answer even with thinking hard about it. I guess these set of numbers were not in its training dataset.

This is not just a simple error but in fact quite dangerous as the answer looks correct. Thus if you are using this result to make a big decision, you are going to get screwed.

Therefore I build Hissab — A Natural language calculator app that actually performs your calculations in your problem statement, rather than just guessing the answer.

This is what Hissab Answered to the same prompt as before -

Hissab doing the same calculations correctly

As you can see Hissab was able to perform this calculations with accurate answer, while Gemini Pro 2.5 just guessed some answer that looks plausible.

Hissab does not use Actual Indians to perform calculations

Hissab even without any AI, is a versatile “type & calculate” calculator app for a wide range of math operations, unit conversions calendar math etc. But with AI, you can simply enter your questions/problems in natural language and Hissab will figure out what operations to perform before giving a natural response.

Other than the App that anyone can just start using, I also provide APIs that you can use to get accurate math in your own productivity apps or use Hissab as a tool for LLMs to perform the calculations like a external tool.
