The rise of reasoning models, such as OpenAI’s o1 and DeepSeek R1, represents a significant evolution in AI capabilities. Unlike traditional LLMs, these models excel in step-by-step problem-solving, logical reasoning, and handling complex, multi-step tasks across fields like mathematics, coding, and research. This talk explores how reasoning models differ fundamentally from their predecessors, the problems they are uniquely equipped to solve, and the breakthroughs we can expect in the near future, such as enhanced multimodal reasoning and long-term planning. Discover how reasoning models are shaping the next frontier of AI innovation, and how you can efficiently apply them in your projects.
