AI can correctly understand, reason through, and plan difficult tasks

Can it solve hard problems that require several correct steps while following constraints?

Solves constrained multi-step problems

AIME 2025 and LiveCodeBench provide direct evidence on multi-step problem solving under constraints. Together they support a strong optimistic read here, even though both remain benchmark-scoped rather than fully real-world.

Can it make a workable plan and adjust it when conditions change?

Plans well and adapts

Can it recognize important constraints that are easy to miss?

Recognizes hidden constraints
