I did another test on Asta versus DR-Tulu, using the same prompt for each, with a query requiring second order inference to answer questions instead of just simple fact lookups. DR-Tulu gave a greatly superior answer to Asta as most of its answers were based on specific cited articles. Asta relied upon the parametric knowledge in its LLM for much of its response instead of citing articles.

I ran a comparison between these 3 tools using the same query. I think MiroThinker produced the best answer, followed by DR-Tulu, with Asta as the 3rd place report. I thought all 3 reports each produced some distinct, useful output so there would be some utility in using all 3 tools together for your research.

I ran the same query against 2 AI tools from AI2: Asta vs DR-Tulu. The difference in output can be seen in the 2 reports below. The Asta report cited 3 references while the DR-Tulu report cited over 20 references.

This is an experiment in prompting trying to show the difference in the types of answers obtained in similar queries by modifying the 2nd query to AI2 Asta to consider possible answers lying in the null space of the manifold in the LLM of the answer trajectory in Asta.

I noticed that K2 Think seems to be much better than AI2 Asta at doing second order thinking about the relationships between research papers. I didn't have a stopwatch but K2 Think seems to run at least 10x faster than Asta using the same query prompt to each one (confirmed as logs say Asta ran 119 seconds and K2 Think thought for 7.26 seconds on Cerebras hardware).

I was asking AI2 Asta for a report on various models of consciousness and it went a bit off the rails, talking a lot about Global Workspace Theory (GWT) which I had not asked about. I had asked about Dynamic Core Theory, which in some ways influenced the later development of GWT. So Asta may have auto-expanded the term DCT into GWT, to maximize recall at the expense of precision in my query.
