NEW research on abstract reasoning. Frontier models like GPT-5 and Grok 4 still can't do what humans find trivially easy: infer transformation rules from a handful of examples. The default approach to solving ARC-AGI (the leading benchmark for abstract reasoning) treats these

Meta Research Challenges Chain-of-Thought Reasoning Approach
By
–
NEW Research from Meta Superintelligence Labs and collaborators. The default approach to improving LLM reasoning today remains extending chain-of-thought sequences. Longer reasoning traces aren't always better. Longer traces conflate reasoning depth with sequence length and

RouteRAG: Adaptive Retrieval for Multi-Hop Reasoning Systems
By
–
Adaptive retrieval is the way to go! And this RouteRAG paper shows why. Let's talk about it: RAG systems have a retrieval problem. The default approach to multi-hop reasoning today relies on fixed retrieval pipelines. It typically involves fetching text + maybe graph data, and
