but really even Qwen had an experimental reasoning model and it was the first ever. insane that we came so far now we have Inkling and soon K3 I remember we were trying models for smolagents' browser agent bcs it was running on closed ones, and earliest examples disappointed us
Kimi in that regard attracted my attention because Qwen's model was a bit sloppy and we depended a lot on closed models, and aligning image and text for reasoning was hard because technically model looked once and then did reasoning in text domain, leaving image domain
