I'm amused by how the whole reasoning model thing feels like a formalization of the old "think step by step" prompting hack, which was discovered against GPT-3 two years after that model was first released.
My favorite trick for controlling the reasoning level is the hack where you look at the output token stream and spot the token for "the model has concluded reasoning"... and then replace that with the tokens for "wait, but" and force it to keep going!

I recommend his book, "Build a Reasoning Model (From Scratch)", which is also linked in the article.
