Interesting, gpt-4o took seven tries to do this, and I had to give it very specific feedback about what it was doing wrong. Here was the answer:

Level says keyboard broke down today, needing repair within five anyway.



I would prefer if it can give the number 5 instead of five. Also I don’t like to tell it what exactly it got wrong, just that it got it wrong. Saying things like think step by step, focus on rules etc is all fair game, while saying “keyboard is the second word, not third”, imo is not. I tried quite a bit when I saw this example on twitter and could never get it to work.


GPT-4o still uses BPEs.
