What is the difference between Reasoning and Generic LLMs ?
This video explains the key differences between reasoning and generic language models (LLMs). Reasoning models excel at complex, multi-step tasks by explicitly showing their thought process, while generic models are better suited for simpler tasks like text generation. The video illustrates how to prompt generic LLMs to mimic reasoning, though not as effectively as dedicated reasoning models. It also demonstrates these concepts in code, showcasing outputs from various models, including open-source options that reveal the "thinking tokens" generated during problem-solving. The video concludes by suggesting use cases for each type of model and providing example problems to test their capabilities.
