token — The chunk of text a model reads and writes in — roughly three-quarters of a word — and the unit AI usage is billed in.
distillation — Training a small, cheap model to imitate a big one's outputs, keeping much of the capability at a fraction of the cost.
open weights — A model whose trained parameters are published for anyone to download and run — unlike API-only models you can access but never possess.
reasoning model — A model trained to think — generating extended internal reasoning before answering — trading time and tokens for accuracy on hard problems.
Why it matters
A reasoning modelA model trained to think — generating extended internal reasoning before answering — trading time and tokens for accuracy on hard problems.Full definition → post-trained to cut overthinking tokenThe chunk of text a model reads and writes in — roughly three-quarters of a word — and the unit AI usage is billed in.Full definition → directly claims ~58% shorter chains-of-thought and ~2x throughput at near-unchanged accuracy, with open weightsA model whose trained parameters are published for anyone to download and run — unlike API-only models you can access but never possess.Full definition →, GGUF quants and a free OpenAI-compatible API to test the claim.
