OpenAI’s o3-pro model’s reasoning ability draws attention, actual performance slightly differs from official tests: OpenAI’s latest reasoning model, o3-pro, demonstrated strong capabilities in handling complex word games (e.g., generating specific answers based on the characteristics of singer Sabrina Carpenter’s song titles), prompting a former head of OpenAI’s AGI Readiness team to sarcastically comment on Apple’s previous questioning of large model reasoning abilities. However, on authoritative leaderboards like LiveBench, o3-pro’s average coding score was almost on par with o3, and its agent coding score was even lower. Fiction.LiveBench tests showed that o3-pro performed excellently in short contexts but still lagged behind Gemini 2.5 Pro in handling 192k ultra-long contexts. Ben Hylak, a former engineer at Apple and SpaceX, pointed out that o3-pro’s true capabilities heavily depend on sufficient background information input, making it more suitable as a report generator than a simple chatbot, with significant improvements in tool calling and environmental understanding (Source: 量子位)

New research refutes Apple’s “Illusion of Thinking” paper, arguing LLMs can solve new complex problems: In response to Apple’s recent “Illusion of Thinking” paper, which claimed Large Reasoning Models (LRMs) experience an “accuracy collapse” on complex planning puzzles like the Tower of Hanoi, a follow-up commentary study suggests Apple’s conclusions primarily reflect limitations in experimental design rather than a failure of the models’ fundamental reasoning abilities. The new research argues that token budget overruns, misassessment of intentionally truncated outputs, and inclusion of mathematically unsolvable puzzle instances in the original experiment collectively led to a misjudgment of model capabilities. When experimental methods were adjusted, for example, by requiring models to output a compact Lua function generating the Tower of Hanoi solution instead of exhaustive step lists, models showed high accuracy on cases previously reported as complete failures. This indicates models are not incapable of reasoning but are constrained by output format and token limits (Source: Reddit r/LocalLLaMA)
