LLMs Struggle in Clue Reasoning Test
π‘LLMs win just 4/18 Clue games: key insights on reasoning failures
β‘ 30-Second TL;DR
What Changed
Text-based Clue game as rule-based testbed for multi-step reasoning
Why It Matters
This exposes critical gaps in LLM reasoning for long-horizon tasks, urging better evaluation methods for AI agents. Developers should prioritize chain-of-thought improvements beyond simple fine-tuning.
