BGB Group - LLMs That Think: Demystifying Reasoning Models (in 5 minutes!)

Slides. All resources can also be found in my archive.

For a BGB Group internal showcase I talked about reasoning models: what they are, how they work and when to use them -- all in just five minutes!

To answer these questions I classified LLMs into a small "taxonomy" based on the post-training steps they go through, in order to highlight how reasoning models differ qualitatively from their predecessors just like instruction-tuned models were not simple text-completion models with a better prompt.
