AI Reasoning Models Crumble Under Complex Problems, Apple Study Reveals

A new Apple study reveals cutting-edge AI reasoning models from OpenAI, DeepSeek, and others undergo 'complete accuracy collapse' when faced with highly complex problems, casting doubt on claims of imminent artificial general intelligence and exposing fundamental limitations in their ability to maintain logical reasoning.

• AI reasoning models undergo 'complete accuracy collapse' when faced with highly complex tasks, a new study by Apple reveals
• The study found that as tasks became more complex, reasoning models reduced the computational effort they applied, suggesting fundamental limitations
• The findings challenge claims that current AI models are on the verge of achieving artificial general intelligence, pointing to a reliance on pattern recognition over true reasoning
