alt Hacker NewsIn my opinion, next step is to cut down on reasoning tokens while maintaining intelligence. The Chain of Thought and looping can still be an issue with these Chinese models. They in fact said K3 would improve in the area but it's still an issue that unfortunately harms the token cost wins a bit. OpenAI has been really impressive here, on the opposite end of this.

Yeah, they thing forever and doubt everything "wait but" for 200k tokens for almost any question.

There is a really interesting startup in Prague that is doing just that. They fine-tuned Qwen 3.6 27b to have 46% fewer reasoning tokens while maintaining most of the performance characteristics. I'm interested to see if they continue down this path of optimizing reasoning for other models.
