How sure are you that OpenAI is using that? I would have suspected it too, but I’ve been struggling with OpenAI returning syntactically invalid JSON when provided with a simple pydantic class (a list of strings), which shouldn’t be possible

Figure 5 is really quite remarkable. It seems to show that normal LLMs are better at tasks where the correct answer is likely to be the next token. For tasks that require a small number of intermediate steps, current reasoning models do muc
