Researchers have evaluated the reasoning capabilities of various AI models, including OpenAI's o1 and o3-mini, DeepSeek-R1, and Gemini-2.0 Flash Thinking, using questions from NPR's Sunday Puzzle. The study aimed to benchmark these models' performance on 28 different puzzles. Despite altering one parameter to make the puzzles more straightforward, the AI models failed to recognize the changes, indicating ongoing challenges in their reasoning abilities. The findings suggest that AI continues to struggle with wordplay and logic-based riddles, revealing limitations in current AI reasoning technologies.
