A new test-time scaling method called budget forcing boosts LLM reasoning without increasing model size, outperforming OpenAI's o1-preview.
This method, developed by researchers at Stanford University, controls the computational effort an LLM expends during inference, allowing it to either stop reasoning early or think longer. The researchers created a curated dataset called s1K to test this method and found that their model, s1-32B, outperformed OpenAI’s o1-preview model on competitive math benchmarks by up to 27%.

Dolphin 3.0 R1 is an instruct-tuned model designed for general-purpose reasoning, coding, math, and function calling. It is designed to be a local model that businesses can control, including setting the system prompt and alignment.
The article discusses the implications of DeepSeek's R1 model launch, highlighting five key lessons: the shift from pattern recognition to reasoning in AI models, the changing economics of AI, the coexistence of proprietary and open-source models, innovation driven by silicon scarcity, and the ongoing advantages of proprietary models despite DeepSeek's impact.
AI researchers at Stanford and the University of Washington trained an AI 'reasoning' model named s1 for under $50 using cloud compute credits. The model, which performs similarly to OpenAI’s o1 and DeepSeek’s R1, is available on GitHub. It was developed using distillation from Google’s Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking Experimental model and demonstrates strong performance on benchmarks.
Researchers at UC Berkeley have developed Sky-T1-32B, an open-source reasoning-focused language model trained for less than $450, which surpasses OpenAI's o1 in benchmarks like Math500, AIME, and Livebench. This model uses optimized training processes to balance computational efficiency with robust performance, making it accessible to a broader audience and fostering inclusivity in AI research.
The article presents rStar-Math, a method demonstrating that small language models (SLMs) can rival or surpass the math reasoning capabilities of larger models like OpenAI's without distillation. rStar-Math employs Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) for 'deep thinking', using a math policy SLM guided by an SLM-based process reward model. It introduces three innovations: a code-augmented CoT data synthesis method for training the policy SLM, a novel process reward model training method avoiding step-level score annotation, and a self-evolution recipe where both the policy SLM and process preference model are iteratively improved. Through self-evolution with millions of solutions for 747k math problems, rStar-Math achieves state-of-the-art math reasoning, significantly improving performance on benchmarks like MATH and AIME.
This article explores QwQ-32B-Preview, an experimental AI model by Qwen Team, which focuses on advancing AI reasoning capabilities. It discusses the model's performance, limitations, and its deep contemplative abilities on various benchmarks and problems.
A Python hands-on guide to understand the principles of generating new knowledge by following logical processes in knowledge graphs. Discusses the limitations of LLMs in structured reasoning compared to the rigorous logical processes needed in certain fields.
“we found no evidence of formal reasoning in language models …. Their behavior is better explained by sophisticated pattern matching—so fragile, in fact, that changing names can alter results by ~10%!”
