OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic heavily deployed reasoning-first models (pioneered by lineages like OpenAI’s o1 and o3). By utilizing reinforcement learning to train models to generate silent, internal chains of thought during inference, these architectures unlocked unprecedented breakthroughs in mathematics, coding, and competitive science benchmarks, proving that thinking at test-time was the new scaling frontier.
