How Generative AI thinks
The ability to reason and draw inferences from natural language is a crucial component of intelligence. According to recent research findings, large language models (LLMs) struggle with complex reasoning tasks (Six Brave Apple Researchers Demonstrate that LLMs don’t Reason) particularly multi-hop reasoning. This involves synthesizing information from multiple sources to arrive at an answer, as…

Six Brave Apple Researchers Demonstrate that LLMs don’t Reason
Six researchers at Apple have recently published a groundbreaking paper revealing that Large Language Models (LLMs) lack true formal reasoning capabilities. The study argues that LLMs primarily rely on sophisticated probabilistic pattern-matching rather than genuine logical reasoning. While LLMs have made significant strides in performance, their reasoning abilities have not kept pace. The paper is…
