Your knowledge is out of date. For example, Claude runs a Linux container with Python and Sympy, so it absolutely can do a good chunk of math now. Still makes mistakes, but it's good enough to serve as a LaTeX assistant. Similarly for ChatGPT but crappier. If you have the computing power, I think you can also give a local LLM access to Python tools with OpenWebUI.
