Only OpenAI Mastered Reasoning, Yet DeepSeek Tops Benchmark with Medium Effort
teortaxesTex · x · 2026-08-03
AI KOL @teortaxesTex argues that DeepSeek's discovery of RL for reasoning in r1 is independent of OpenAI's o1 technology, asserting that only OpenAI has truly mastered intrinsic 'reasoning effort'.
Meanwhile, the quoted tweet reveals the latest VulcanBench results: DeepSeek took the top spot, surprisingly achieving this with medium effort rather than high effort. Grok 4.5 Medium ranked second, while ChatGPT fell out of the top five.
