Well, I think 1) is correct, while 2) 3) and 4) are mostly misleading. The Reasoning Models are still LLMs. Just that they emulate some inner dialogue before writing the final text. I wouldn't use the word "accuracy" in context with AI. It's far from accurate these days, no matter what we do. And in 2), it uses intermediate reasoning. But the Mechanism is still predicting tokens based on statistical likelihood. And regarding 4) also the patterns still come from data, so do the intermediary "logical" steps. And if we look for example at the "thinking" steps of Deepseek R1, it's often unalike human reasoning. I had it reason very illogical steps and outright false things, and despite that, it sometimes arrives at a correct conclusion... Make of this what you will, but I don't think "logical" or "accuracy" are the right words here. Table rows 2, 3 and 4 are oversimplified to the point where it's not correct any more. IMO

I tested out a Deepseek model the other day. It took one minute to generate text and used up all my context space in one message. Local consumer models and "small" server hosted models are probably different classes because for my home pc it was a big performance downgrade.

Welcome to LocalLLaMA! Here we discuss running and developing machine learning models at home. Lets explore cutting edge open source neural network technology together.

Get support from the community! Ask questions, share prompts, discuss benchmarks, get hyped at the latest and greatest model releases! Enjoy talking about our awesome hobby.

As ambassadors of the self-hosting machine learning community, we strive to support each other and share our enthusiasm in a positive constructive way.

Rules:

Rule 1 - No harassment or personal character attacks of community members. I.E no namecalling, no generalizing entire groups of people that make up our community, no baseless personal insults.

Rule 2 - No comparing artificial intelligence/machine learning models to cryptocurrency. I.E no comparing the usefulness of models to that of NFTs, no comparing the resource usage required to train a model is anything close to maintaining a blockchain/ mining for crypto, no implying its just a fad/bubble that will leave people with nothing of value when it burst.

Rule 3 - No comparing artificial intelligence/machine learning to simple text prediction algorithms. I.E statements such as "llms are basically just simple text predictions like what your phone keyboard autocorrect uses, and they're still using the same algorithms since <over 10 years ago>.

Rule 4 - No implying that models are devoid of purpose or potential for enriching peoples lives.
