The Query command sends a query to a large language model, attempting to instruct the model to use both natural language and MathML. Maple tries to split the answer into MathML and non-MathML, parse the MathML, and then print the results on screen. The command does not return anything.

Maple can interface with OpenAI's GPT-4o, o1-mini, and o3-mini models. You can select these by using the options $\mathrm{model}=\mathrm{GPT4o}$; $\mathrm{model}=\mathrm{O1Mini}$; and $\mathrm{model}=\mathrm{O3Mini}$, respectively. By default, or when explicitly selected with the $\mathrm{model}=\mathrm{default}$ option, a Maplesoft server chooses an appropriate model. (At the time of release of Maple 2025, this was the o3-mini model.) Note that OpenAI may deprecate and disable models, so the set of models supported may change in the future.

Note: Large language models often generate inaccurate statements. Please keep this in mind: this is not technology for building a bridge with.

$\mathrm{Query}\left(''What\; is\; Pythagoras\text{'}\; Theorem?''\right)$

$''Pythagoras\text{'}\; Theorem\; states\; that\; in\; a\; right‐angled\; triangle,\; the\; square\; of\; the\; hypotenuse\; is\; equal\; to\; the\; sum\; of\; the\; squares\; of\; the\; other\; two\; sides.''$

$a^2+b^2=c^2$

$\mathrm{Query}\left(''what\; is\; the\; volume\; of\; a\; partially\; filled\; sphere?''\right)$

$''Assume\; a\; sphere\; with\; radius\; R.\; If\; the\; sphere\; is\; filled\; to\; a\; height\; h\; measured\; from\; the\; bottom,\; the\; filled\; part\; is\; a\; spherical\; cap\; whose\; volume\; is\; given\; by''$

$V=\frac{\mathrm{\pi }{h}^2\left(3R-h\right)}{3}$

$''One\; way\; to\; arrive\; at\; this\; result\; is\; to\; consider\; horizontal\; slices\; (disks)\; of\; the\; cap.\; For\; a\; slice\; at\; a\; distance\; y\; from\; the\; bottom\; (with\; y\; ranging\; from\; 0\; to\; h),\; the\; disk’s\; radius\; can\; be\; expressed\; as''$

$r=\sqrt{R^2-{\left(R-y\right)}^2}$

$''The\; area\; of\; this\; disk\; is\; \pi r²\; and\; its\; volume\; element\; is\; dV\; =\; \pi r²\; dy.\; Integrating\; dV\; from\; y\; =\; 0\; to\; y\; =\; h\; produces\; the\; volume\; of\; the\; cap,\; which—in\; after\; some\; algebra—reduces\; to\; the\; formula\; given\; above.\; Thus,\; the\; volume\; of\; the\; liquid\; in\; the\; partially\; filled\; sphere\; is''$
