3. Apple researchers find “reasoning” models collapse beyond complexity thresholds

  • “Reasoning” models fail on harder problems, even when they have tokens left, the researchers noted.

    • General LLMs outperform reasoning models on low-complexity problems, the study revealed.

    • However, “reasoning” models outperform general LLMs when problem complexity is medium.

  • The researchers considered 4 puzzles: Tower of Hanoi, Checker Jumping, River Crossing, and Blocks World.

  • OpenAI’s o3-mini (high and medium), Anthropic’s Claude 3.7 Sonnet (non-thinking and thinking) and DeepSeek R1 and V3 were the models tested.

Some believe that while the Apple paper is useful, it doesn’t support the idea that LLMs are “hitting a wall”
