where thinking models do well. Somewhere in the middle. See, there are three distinct complexity bands: → Low: Non-thinking LLMs actually outscore reasoning models.
→ Medium: The reasoning model's chain-of-thought helps.
→ High: Both vanilla and reasoning models drop to 0 %.

Three Complexity Bands: Where Reasoning Models Excel

Reasoning Models and the Goldilocks Zone of AI Thinking
By
–
Fast forward to today and we now have reasoning models ("LRMs") that are trained to think. When these first came out, I was skeptical. In my experience, LLM thinking was flawed. Apple's new paper confirms a similar finding. In fact, the identify a "Goldilocks band"…

Thought Prompts: Mixed Results in AI Output Quality

About half of the time, thought prompts worked well — better than without the thinking. And about half the time the thinking process actually made the output WORSE.

Thought Prompting Course: Promising Start, Unexpected Challenges
By
–
Last year I started working on a course called "Thought Prompting". I was going to teach people how to prompt LLMs to think before returning the final results. Early experiments showed a ton of promise… but when I started working on the course, things went sideways.

Apple’s Paper Confirms Year-Long Observations About Thinking Models
By
–
Apple just dropped an machine learning paper that finally confirms what I've been noticing for over a year. The paper is about "thinking models" like OpenAI's o-series (o3, etc) Here's what happened:

looks sick. I love how it goes outside the agent platform and integrates with everything

Marketers Will Continue Using Agent Term for Workflows and GPTs
By
–
exactly. I don't think marketers are going to stop using the term to describe workflow agents and GPTs, so we may as well make room for them in the definition

Introducing curious minds to AI through accessible vibe coding tools
By

I feel like this is a good time to expose them to this kind of stuff. They're very curious about AI and what I do, and I love how accessible these vibe coding tools make the whole world of *building*. It's a bit of a new experiment, but so far lots of interest
