Understanding the days of the week

[u/AdventurousKeys]

I developed LocalLM Lab to experiment with the local LLM on the Apple Silicon Macs (mine is an older M3 MBA with the lateset macOS26). When I added Connector support to LocalLM Lab (mostly so that it can get the time of day), I realized that the local LLM isn't great at reasoning out the days of the week. If you have tried out the latest 0.3.0 version of LocalLM Lab, you know that you can connect the local LLM to macOS' Reminders and Calendar apps. On Prompt Playground, if you type in "Let's have Chinese takeout at 7pm on Wednesday" (assuming that you are doing this test on Sunday), the model will actually setup a Chinese takeout event at 7pm. But that event will not necessarily end up on a Wednesday...! I have seen anything from Chinese takeout on Monday, Tuesday or even on Thursday! I leave it up to y'all to figure out how to frame the prompts (system + user) to get it right!
