For instance the current high score model (311 params [0]), when given 12345678900 + 1, responds with 96913456789.
An interesting experiment would be: what's the minimum number of parameters required to handle unbounded addition (without offloading it to tool calls).
Of course memory constraints would preclude such an experiment. And so a sensible proxy would be: what kind of neural-net architecture and training would allow a model to handle numbers lengths it hasn't been trained on. I suspect, this may be not be possible.
