K3's Reasoning Style and Decoding Performance
teortaxesTex · x · 2026-07-18
K3's "thinking" style has been criticized for over-deducing, but it successfully handles tests like double-layer base64 decoding with full error correction.
The author finds the test "cute" and draws a comparison: Sonnet 3.5 achieves similar performance without CoT, implying that such capabilities might not entirely depend on explicit reasoning chains.
