I'm using LLMs alongside Math Academy. Math Academy uses machine learning generally (and so now they plug their "AI" technology) but it's not transformer-model-style AI ML; as I understand it, it's just driving their underlying spaced repetition system (which is interleaved through lots of different units).

In the scenario I'm discussing, Math Academy's content is a non-generative source of truth, against which I've benchmarked GPT5 and O4-mini.

Everything described there sounds like old-school adaptive algorithms. I don't see anything about generative AI or LLMs.

I asked Google if MA does LLM tutoring and got back this answer:

> Math Academy does not offer Large Language Model (LLM) tutoring. While the company advertises itself as "AI-powered," this is in reference to a machine-learning-based adaptive learning system, not an interactive LLM tutor.

And here is a HN comment that indicates LLMs are a complement to MA, not part of it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43281240
