A separate answer call follows new evidence 29.9 to 60.6 points more
Continued thinking gives the stale result again in most conflicts.
Researchers did a test of 3 model families, gpt-oss, Gemma4 and Qwen3, on HotpotQA and MuSiQue. Each model had a reasoning trace, which is the written steps of its thinking, and evidence that was different from it. When a separate call gave the answer, the model followed the current evidence 29.9 to 60.6 points more than when it continued its thinking.
