I posted on Friday that I planned to make pasta sauce over the weekend, and in fact I did. This also gave me a chance to play with Claude AI a bit more. Now, it's well known that some older LLMs sucked at basic math. Anthropic seems to have solved that, as I've seen when I've run other queries. What does this have to do with pasta sauce? Well, you need math if you're going to make nutrition labels from an ingredient list:

And for the Europeans out there:

Very nutritious! And accurate, I think. The math I checked maths just fine.
