Do Reasoning Models Really Think? The Unlikely Apple-Anthropic Research Feud
A recent academic dispute brings questions if reasoning models actually exhibit genuine reasoning, or just sophisticated pattern matching dressed up as thought?

Critics, including researchers and models from Anthropic (yes their model Opus is one of the authors), argue these failures are a result of flawed experiments, not flawed models.
