Reasoning Models

A reasoning model works through a problem in intermediate steps before giving its answer, spending more tokens and time to get harder questions right. That helps with math, code and multi-step logic, and is often wasted on simple requests. The guide here explains where these models sit in the larger picture of how an LLM produces an answer.

How LLMs Work

Every stage a prompt passes through, modeled as an explorable 3D machine. 21 stages, a 21-step guided journey tracing one token from "The cat sat on the" to "mat", real parameter counts from GPT-3 to DeepSeek-V3, and the training story, pretraining, RLHF, and the reasoning-RL breakthrough.
