Simple questions like this are not welcomed by LLM hype sellers.

The word "reasoning" is being used heavily in this announcement, but with an intentional corruption of the normal meaning.

The models are amazing but they are fundamentally not "reasoning" in a way we'd expect a normal human to.

This is not a "distinction without a difference". You still CANNOT rely on the outputs of these models in the same way you can rely on the outputs of simple reasoning.

it depends who's doing the simple reasoning. Richard Feynman? yes. Donald Trump? no.
