## Papers

The most cited first (OpenAlex and our library).

1. **[Metacognitive Capabilities of LLMs: An Exploration in Mathematical Problem Solving](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/didolkar-2024-metacognitive-capabilities-llms-exploration-mathematical/)** *(2024 · 45 citations)* The authors ask whether large language models have something like metacognitive knowledge, meaning an awareness of which skills a task calls for, and whether that awareness can be used to improve their performance.
2. **[AI-Assisted Generation of Difficult Math Questions](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/shah-2024-ai-assisted-generation-difficult-math/)** *(2024 · 23 citations)* LLM training now treats mathematical reasoning as a core capability, but public sources of hard problems are largely used up.
