Episode notes
Reasoning in AI
- Generative AI is shifting from scaling with data and compute to a reasoning approach.
- This involves models thinking step-by-step, validating each step, and then answering.
Reasoning: A Head Fake?
- The shift to AI reasoning models may be a head-fake because traditional scaling methods might be hitting a wall.
- This new direction is being adopted by companies like Google and OpenAI.
Cost of Reasoning
- Reasoning models, while promising for agents, are computationally expensive.
- This increased cost limits their practical applications and scalability.
