Microsoft Research has released Phi-4-reasoning-plus, a 14-billion parameter language model designed for tasks requiring deep reasoning.The model integrates supervised fine-tuning and reinforcement learning to enhance performance in math, science, and logic-based tasks.Phi-4-reasoning-plus is licensed under MIT, compatible with various frameworks, and aims for high-quality reasoning.Structured training with special tokens enhances transparency and coherence in problem solving.The model balances correctness, conciseness, and formatting consistency through reinforcement learning.Phi-4-reasoning-plus is suited for applications requiring high-quality reasoning under memory or latency constraints.It supports context lengths up to 64,000 tokens and performs well in chat-like settings.Despite its smaller size, the model outperforms larger models on benchmarks like the AIME 2025 math exam.Phi-4-reasoning-plus is positioned as a research tool for generative AI systems and not as a universal solution.Careful evaluation of performance, safety, and fairness is advised before deploying the model in high-stakes environments.
