Comment on OpenAI o1 Results on ARC-AGI-Pub

As expected, I've always believed that with the right data allowing the LLM to be trained to imitate reasoning, it's possible to improve its performance. However, this is still pattern matching, and I suspect that this approach may not be very effective for creating true generalization. As a result, once o1 becomes generally available, we will likely notice the persistent hallucinations and faulty reasoning, especially when the problem is sufficiently new or complex, beyond the "reasoning programs" or "reasoning patterns" the model learned during the reinforcement learning phase. https://www.lycee.ai/blog/openai-o1-release-agi-reasoning

My feeling is that this is one reason they decided to hide the reasoning tokens.

yes indeed

So basically it's a kind of overfitting with pattern matching features? This doesn't undermine the power of LLMs but it is great to study their limitations.

“As expected I’m right”

shouldn't I expect to be right when I have a thesis ? doesn't mean I can't see when I am wrong.
