Steiner-preview
Steiner-preview is the latest reasoning model developed by the Steiner Team. It’s designed to tackle complex problems with human-like reasoning capabilities, thinking through problems step by step before providing answers.
Key features
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| API model key | steiner-preview |
| Best for | Complex reasoning tasks and step-by-step problem solving |
| Reasoning capability | Comparable to GPT-4o in reasoning tasks |
| Unique characteristic | Transparent thought process |
Reasoning process
Unlike other reasoning models (such as o1), Steiner-preview makes its thinking process transparent by showing detailed intermediate steps in its responses. This allows users to:
- Understand how the model arrived at its conclusions
- Verify the logical flow of reasoning
- Identify potential gaps or assumptions in the reasoning chain
Comparison with O1 series
While both Steiner and O1 series are reasoning-focused models:
- Both employ step-by-step reasoning approaches
- Steiner explicitly shows its thought process in responses
- O1 series keeps reasoning steps internal
- Steiner may have limited world knowledge compared to O1, but maintains comparable reasoning capabilities to GPT-4o
Best use cases
- Complex problem solving requiring transparent reasoning
- Tasks where understanding the thought process is important
- Situations requiring step-by-step explanations
- Educational contexts where showing work is valuable
