Design an LLM math-solving chain evaluates ML product requirements, data/labeling, modeling, serving architecture, evaluation, monitoring, and trade-offs in a realistic interview setting. A strong answer states assumptions, handles edge cases, explains trade-offs, and shows how to validate the result clearly.

Design an LLM-based system to solve arithmetic problems ranging from simple expressions (e.g., 4 + 5) to tasks like computing the sum from 1 to 100. How would you decide when to answer directly versus invoking formulas or executing code? Describe the chain logic, tool usage (e.g., calculator, Python), prompting strategy, guardrails, and how you would evaluate accuracy, handle errors, and track experiments.
