Does Thinking More always Help? Mirage of Test-Time Scaling in Reasoning Models

Soumya Suvra Ghosal, Souradip Chakraborty, Avinash Reddy +6

Recent trends in test-time scaling for reasoning models (e.g., OpenAI o1, DeepSeek R1) have led to a popular belief that extending thinking traces using prompts like "Wait" or "Let…
