Apple researchers have found that state-of-the-art "reasoning" AI models like OpenAI's o3-mini, Gemini (with thinking mode-enabled), Claude 3.7, DeepSeek-R1 face complete performance collapse [PDF] beyond certain complexity thresholds when tested on controllable puzzle environments. The finding raises questions about the true reasoning capabilities of large language models. The study, which examined models using Tower of Hanoi, checker jumping, river crossing, and blocks world puzzles rather than standard mathematical benchmarks, found three distinct performance regimes that contradict conventional assumptions about AI reasoning progress. At low complexity levels, standard language models surprisingly outperformed their reasoning-enhanced counterparts while using fewer computational resources. At medium complexity, reasoning models demonstrated advantages, but both model types experienced complete accuracy collapse at high complexity levels. Most striking was the counterintuitive finding that reasoning models actually reduced their computational effort as problems became more difficult, despite operating well below their token generation limits. Even when researchers provided explicit solution algorithms, requiring only step-by-step execution rather than creative problem-solving, the models' performance failed to improve significantly. The researchers noted fundamental inconsistencies in how models applied learned strategies across different problem scales, with some models successfully handling 100-move sequences in one puzzle type while failing after just five moves in simpler scenarios.
