Same Formulas, Different Semantics: Do Language Models Follow Modal Logic Specifications?

In 30 seconds
- What happened
- Researchers tested whether language models follow modal logic specifications correctly, finding most fail basic tests unless reasoning mode is enabled.
- Why it matters
- Matters for engineers building systems that need to reason about necessity, possibility, and logical constraints under different formal frameworks.
- Watch out
- Models perform inconsistently across inference modes and may follow familiar logics rather than stated specifications, even with identical premises.
