Link: OpenAI's o1 models are dramatically better at reasoning than previous LLMs, but they struggle with spatial reasoning and are far from human-level intelligence (Timothy B Lee/Understanding AI)

The direct route from B Street to Fourth Street via Third Street is closed, necessitating an alternate path.

Travel south on Second Street to F Street, then east to Fourth Street, crossing Third Street.

Finally, proceed north on Fourth Street returning to B Street. This route is both feasible and the shortest.

O1 models struggled with this navigation problem, likewise faltering in a chess scenario involving basic queen capture.

GPT-4o usually suggests legal moves due to pattern matching from training data, unlike o1 which inaccurately tries to analyze board state.

These examples highlight the effectiveness of LLMs in defined problem spaces yet reveal their limitations in handling the complexities of real-world scenarios. #
