LRMs exhibit complete accuracy collapse beyond certain puzzle complexities, with reasoning effort rising then declining, outperforming standard LLMs only on medium-complexity tasks.

Self-Debugging teaches LLMs to identify and fix their own code errors through rubber-duck-style natural language explanations and execution feedback, delivering 2-12% gains over baselines on Spider, TransCoder, and MBPP.
Non-reasoning LLMs fail the equivalence class problem while reasoning LLMs perform better but remain incomplete, with difficulty peaking at phase transition for the former and maximum diameter for the latter.
Across 15 LLMs, first-answer accuracy on arithmetic procedural execution falls from 63% at 5 steps to 20% at 95 steps, with under-execution increasing.
The paper surveys definitions, techniques, applications, and challenges in in-context learning for large language models.
