Georg Unterholzner @georg.dev · Jun 11 Researchers even handed models step-by-step algorithms (e.g., for Tower of Hanoi). The result: identical failure points. LRMs couldn’t reliably execute prescribed logic—suggesting their "reasoning" is often pattern-matching, not general intelligence.

Key takeaway: Don't trust LRMs for highly complex tasks. They solved Tower of Hanoi (100+ moves) but failed River Crossing after just 5 moves, likely due to *training data gaps*. For critical planning, coding, or math, always verify outputs.
