It looks like it's reasoning pretty well to me. It came up with a correct way to count the number of r's, it got the number correct and then it compared it with what it had learned during pre-training. It seems that the model makes a mistake towards the end and writes STRAWBERY with two R and comes to the conclusion it has two.

fucking promptfans. at least I have that paper from earlier to soothe me
