Report: Reasoning AI Models Fail When Problems Get Too Complicated

SMRTR summary

New research co-authored by Apple scientists shows large reasoning models (LRMs) experience "complete accuracy collapse" on highly complex tasks. While LRMs outperform standard AI models on simpler problems, their performance drops dramatically as difficulty increases. Using controllable puzzles, the study measured how AI reasoning breaks down. As problems approached a certain complexity, LRMs reduced reasoning effort and failed to find correct solutions, suggesting fundamental limitations in current AI problem-solving capabilities.
