A "slow" transformer model (reasoning chain + solution) outperforms a "fast" (solution only) model, but a dual-minded model that automatically switches between fast and slow modes performs as well as the slow mode, but with fewer reasoning steps — i.e., reflective reasoning was beneficial, but sometimes unnecessary or even unnecessarily costly: https://doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.2410.09918
