Apple's Illusion of Thinking Paper Explores Limits of Large Reasoning Models
Apple Machine Learning Research published a paper titled "The Illusion of Thinking," which investigates the abilities of Large Reasoning Models (LRMs) on a set of puzzles. As the complexity of the puzzles increases, the researchers found that LRMs encounter a "collapse" threshold where the models reduce their reasoning effort, indicating a limit to the models' scalability.
By Anthony AlfordPresentation: A Framework for Building Micro Metrics for LLM System Evaluation
Denys Linkov shares lessons on preventing LLM production issues. He explains the flaws of single metrics, the importance of treating models as observable systems, building user-issue-alerting metrics, and focusing on business value. He emphasizes a "crawl, walk, run" approach to LLM metric maturity for successful, trust-building deployments.
