The Rise Of Reasoner Models: Scaling Test-Time Compute

Le Penseur (1904) in the Musée Rodin in Paris. Picture by CrisNYCa — Wikipedia. Introduction A new kind of LLM has recently been popping out everywhere: Reasoner models. Kickstarted by OpenAI’s o1 and o3, these models are a bit different from the rest. These models particularly shine when dealing with mathematical problems and coding challenges, where success depends on following precise, logical steps to reach a correct solution. On the other hand, these models take much longer to answer than any conventio
