A bagel-shaped object. The form is there, the soul isn't.
Summary
Recent frontier language models have introduced Large Reasoning Models (LRMs) that enhance reasoning processes. However, understanding their fundamental capabilities, scaling properties, and limitations remains a challenge. Current evaluations focus on mathematical benchmarks, lacking insights into reasoning traces.
