Measuring Thinking Efficiency in Reasoning Models: The Missing Benchmark https://t.co/ih1cYgeYOw We measured token usage across reasoning models: open models output 1.5-4x more tokens than closed models on identical tasks, but with huge variance depending on task type (up to 10x on simple questions). This hidden cost often negates per-token pricing advantages. Token efficiency should become a primary target alongside accuracy benchmarks, especially considering non-reasoning use cases. Read the thorough review of reasoning efficiency across the open and closed model landscape in our latest blog post in collaboration with our researcher in residence, Tim.
