Reasoning LLMs often fail to systematically explore the solution space, which leads to ineffective problem solving.
A formal analysis reveals common failure modes like invalid reasoning steps and hallucinated conclusions in LLMs.
Multiple state-of-the-art LLMs were evaluated through qualitative and quantitative analyses to identify persistent issues.
Improving reasoning LLMs may require new metrics that focus on the reasoning process rather than just final outputs.
