Slides for my lecture “LLM Reasoning” at Stanford CS 25: dennyzhou.github.io/LLM-Reasoning-… Key points: 1. Reasoning in LLMs simply means generating a sequence of intermediate tokens before producing the final answer. Whether this resembles human reasoning is irrelevant. The crucial…


The gut feeling of an experienced Product Manager is a valuable addition to data when making product decisions. Sometimes/many times even more valuable than the data-driven decision approach. @AndrewYNg "Synthesizing all these sources of data in a PM's gut helps us move faster."

The invention of modern writing instruments like the typewriter made writing easier, but they also led to the rise of writer’s block, where deciding what to write became the bottleneck. Similarly, the invention of agentic coding assistants has led to a new builder’s block, where…



Interesting read from @svlevine arguing that surrogate data (simulation, human videos) is like a 'spork' - trying to get the best of both worlds but often just being mediocre at both. Makes the case for why real-world robot data is irreplaceable. open.substack.com/pub/sergeylevi…


The most important insights emerge between competing narratives.


Hugely impressive achievement by the @OpenAI team.

1/N I’m excited to share that our latest @OpenAI experimental reasoning LLM has achieved a longstanding grand challenge in AI: gold medal-level performance on the world’s most prestigious math competition—the International Math Olympiad (IMO).

But on its way...

To be clear: We’re releasing GPT-5 soon, but the model we used at IMO is a separate experimental model. It uses new research techniques that will show up in future models—but we don't plan to release a model with this level of capability for many months.



Couldn't agree more. This applies to new technology too. The most valuable AI applications will be anchored in deep understanding of established fields, not just novelty for its own sake. Wisdom before wizardry.

You're unlikely to discover something new without a lot of practice on old stuff.
