Small AI models can now solve harder math problems with a little help

Small AI models can now solve complex math problems much better by getting hints from a slightly smarter AI. This means these smaller, cheaper models can handle tasks that used to require much larger, more expensive AI systems.

For years, complex reasoning tasks were only possible with very large AI models, which are expensive to train and run. This new method shows that smaller, more efficient models can achieve similar results by working together. It opens the door for deploying advanced AI capabilities in more places, especially where computing power or budget is limited.
