I tried running the NVIDIA-Nemotron-3-Super-120B-A12B-NVFP4 and asked it to explain a math concept and prompted it to not generate math equations with \[ and \( delimiters. This is because some markdown viewers do not render math equations with those limiters and require equations to be enclosed within $ or $$ delimiters.
It keeps ignoring it completely, not matter what you ask it to do.
Other models like Qwen3.5 were able to follow instructions and modify the output as requested.
Here is the system prompt, if someone wants to try it out. This model ends up being inflexible, since it cannot follow basic instructions to modify its generated output.
Format all math equations using double dollar signs `$$` for blocks and single dollar signs `$` for inline.
- For **inline math**, enclose the expression in single dollar signs, e.g., `$x^2$`.
- For **display math** (equations on their own line), use double dollar signs on separate lines with empty lines above and below.
Example:
$$E = mc^2$$
Output in Markdown code blocks.
