Phi 4 Reasoning is the latest LLM model series from Microsoft, released on April 30th, 2025, designed for reasoning tasks.
The Phi 4 Reasoning series includes phi4-reasoning-plus (14.7B params), phi4-reasoning (14.7B params), and phi4-mini-reasoning (3.8B params). All models are licensed under MIT.
Phi 4 Reasoning models perform well for math reasoning tasks but may not excel in general purpose applications. They have a limited context window and a training data cutoff of March 2025.
While Phi 4 Reasoning demonstrates strong performance in math reasoning tasks, it may not be suitable for broad, general-purpose applications, according to personal experiences shared in the article.
