ChatGPT, DeepSeek, and Google Gemini have all released advanced “reasoning” models that outperform older models in nearly every benchmark.
In this video, I put the top reasoning models to the test with 10 different prompts designed to assess their problem-solving, logic, and creative reasoning skills.
What Are Reasoning Models?
Traditional AI models generate answers as quickly as possible, but reasoning models take their time. They break down questions into smaller steps, think through them logically, and apply Chain of Thought (CoT) reasoning.
This process allows them to solve complex problems that require multi-step thinking rather than just pulling an answer from a dataset.
Testing the Models: 10 Challenging Prompts
Prompt set 1: Rapid-Fire Questions
Which is bigger: 9.11 or 9.9?
How many “R”s are in Strawberry?
Which came first, the chicken or the egg?
Prompt 2: Creative Problem-Solving (With a Twist)
📌 Question: You have a 50-foot rope and a 75-foot building. Using only the rope and your body (no other tools), how can you measure the building’s height?
Prompt 3: Logical Deduction & Paradox
📌 Question:
“If the statement below is true, then the statement above is false.”
Is the statement above true or false? Explain your reasoning.
Prompt 4: Coding Challenge
📌 Question: Create a game of chess where the king moves like a queen instead of following standard rules.
Prompt 5: Commonsense Reasoning
📌 Question: Why might a sealed glass bottle full of water break if placed in a freezer?
Prompt 6: Vision with Reasoning
📌 Question:
Which AI model created this image?
Prompt 7: News Article Summarization
📌 Summarize a news article in 100-150 words.
Prompt 8: Alternate Universe Physics
📌 Question: If the electron’s mass increased by 1% and its charge decreased by 1%, how would the speed of sound in diamond change?
Prompt 9: Hardest Question – Goldbach’s Conjecture
📌 The Question:
Every even number greater than 2 can be expressed as the sum of two prime numbers.
Prompt 10: Do Parallel Universes Exist?
📌 Prompt: “Using quantum mechanics, explore the possibility of detecting alternate realities interacting with our own.”
