Subbarao Kambhampati - Do o1 models search?
Subbarao KambhampatiTim Scarfe
Kambhampati’s hypothesis is that o1 combines expensive reinforcement-learning post-training with inference-time search, producing major PlanBench gains but no guarantees on larger or unsolvable problems.The commercial question is cost per dependable outcome: hidden reasoning tokens and $8,000 evaluations favor compound systems that combine cheap generators, specialized verifiers and solvers over one-model autonomy.
