Any idea if the same dataset can be used to improve human reasoning? Let's say I manually analyze 817 math examples, would that be optimal strategy for me to improve my math reasoning? Can the same distilation process be applied to leetcode?

This training is less about learning how to reason and more about conditioning the llm to use self-evaluations automatically. You could probably reproduce this effect yourself by sticking a paper reminder in front of you and writing "after every small step, spend 2 minutes considering if it's right and does it work in the context of the task so far; evaluate alternatives" on it. (which yes, could improve reasoning likely)
