Interesting take. Basically Open AI's O1 and every reasoning model's behaviour can be replicated by proper COT given that it is followed correctly. I learn COT from this amazing blog on I found on Reddit and then experimented and LLM was able to perform much better. So I believe Alibaba in their new model must have improved their system prompt when compared to their new model.

Why the scare quotes if it's apache 2.0?

The github readme has something unusual re licensing:
