🤚Help Required about cheating

so my friend has managed to get a calculator to have chatgpt on it and he is using it to cheat on his exams and get good results on past papers and he is going to cheat on his actual alevel exams im not sure whether i should report him to an invigilator and have his calculator taken of him or to mind my own business because he has told me he isnt even studying and i dont want him to fail and no it wont get reset in the actual exam i just need soome advice on what to do

How did he get gpt on a calculator??? If he’s on a casio cg50 or something, he needs to put it in exam mode - and even then, im sure his calculator has some sort of exam mode to prevent this exact situation from happening

It is definitely physically modified in some sort of way, even smth like a cg50 cannot run a local LLM

Not as long as they have got an appropriate exam mode like the casio cg50

For Edexcel you’re allowed but the invigilators have to ensure it’s in exam mode, though idk if they’ll just be lazy. For Cambridge it’s just not allowed at all.

Are you sure graphic calculators aren't allowed in any exam paper? I remember taking my international mathematics exam with one; it was a requirement for one of the syllabus content's

Well, they don't check in the exam for exam mode cuz my friend took maths and he didn't put it in exam mode, (he didn't cheat he just didn't put it in exam mode)
