These are the very models that claim to think step-by-step like humans, thanks to techniques like chain-of-thought prompting, scratchpads, and tool-augmented reflection. And yet, behind the scenes, something far less intelligent is happening. Apple’s study shows that these models often talk the talk—but fail to walk the walk when the complexity of reasoning tasks crosses a certain threshold. The researchers built a suite of controlled, symbolic puzzles: Tower of Hanoi, River Crossing, Blocks World, and Checker Jumping. These aren’t just logic games—they’re diagnostics for […]

At a time when schools across the U.S. are struggling to raise test scores, reduce stress, and retain good teachers, one private school in Austin, Texas, may have found the blueprint for the future — and it doesn’t involve hiring more staff or extending school hours.
