The “Illusion of Diminishing Returns” in LLM Long-Term Task Execution: New research explores LLM performance in long-term task execution, indicating that small improvements in single-step accuracy can lead to exponential increases in task length. The paper argues that LLMs fail in long tasks not due to insufficient reasoning ability, but due to execution errors. By explicitly providing knowledge and plans, the study found that large models can correctly execute more steps, even if smaller models achieve 100% single-step accuracy. An interesting finding is the ‘self-regulation’ effect in models: when the context contains previous errors, models are more prone to making mistakes again, and this cannot be solved by model scale alone. However, the latest ‘thinking models’ can avoid self-regulation and complete longer tasks in a single execution, emphasizing the significant benefits of scaling model size and sequential test computation for long-term tasks.
