Reasoning Models Can Be Effective Without Thinking (arxiv.org)
Recent LLMs have significantly improved reasoning capabilities, primarily by including an explicit, lengthy Thinking process as part of generation. In this paper, we question whether this explicit thinking is necessary.

RAG Without Vectors – Reasoning-Based RAG using PageIndex (ycombinator.com)
Traditional vector-based RAG often struggles with retrieval accuracy because it optimizes for similarity, not relevance. But what we truly need in retrieval is relevance, which requires reasoning. When working with professional documents that require domain expertise and multi-step reasoning, vector-based RAG and similarity search often fall short.

Sketch-of-Thought: Efficient LLM Reasoning (arxiv.org)
Recent advances in large language models have demonstrated remarkable reasoning capabilities through Chain of Thought (CoT) prompting, but often at the cost of excessive verbosity in their intermediate outputs, which increases computational overhead.

Engineering Reasoning LLMs: Notes and Observations (thelis.org)
Reasoning models are LLMs that are designed to tackle complex tasks that require multiple steps of reasoning. OpenAI’s o1 was the first mainstream reasoning model, and showed remarkable results on highly complex questions. A torrent of papers were published subsequent to o1, each exploring how to build these types of systems. Most recently, DeepSeek-R1 has captured attention as a state-of-the-art reasoning model with a published methodology.

Reasoning models are just LLMs (antirez.com)
It’s not new, but it’s accelerating. People that used to say that LLMs were a fundamentally flawed way to reach any useful reasoning and, in general, to develop any useful tool with some degree of generality, are starting to shuffle the deck, in the hope to look less wrong. They say: “the progresses we are seeing are due to the fact that models like OpenAI o1 or DeepSeek R1 are not just LLMs”.
