Implements a multi-stage reasoning pipeline that allocates variable computational resources (low/medium/high) to internal chain-of-thought generation before producing final outputs. The model performs iterative refinement of reasoning traces, exploring multiple solution paths and backtracking when necessary, with compute budget directly controlling the depth and breadth of exploration. This architecture enables users to trade inference latency and cost for solution quality on a per-request basis.
