Reasoning changes the time and output budget
Reasoning systems can spend additional generation on solving a task. That may help on problems with checkable answers, but it also changes latency and resource use. The paper’s reported results belong to its evaluated models and settings.
Why the final answer still needs checking
A long reasoning trace is not proof of correctness. For a calculation, verify the result independently; for code, run the tests. Compare the actual distilled model against your baseline before substituting it.
What to remember
Track output length and latency.
