Oversimplified: Hmm…AI That Actually Reasons (Not Just Memorizes)

Ever wondered how AI models like Claude, ChatGPT o1, and Gemini actually THINK through problems instead of just pattern-matching?

This video breaks down the technical magic behind reasoning AI in a fun, retro 16-bit animation style! We cover:

🧠 Reinforcement Learning - How AI learns to think, not just memorize
⛓️ Chain-of-Thought Reasoning - The "thinking blocks" that show their work
🔄 Extended Thinking Mode - 100+ attempts until they get it right
⚙️ Adaptive Compute - When to think fast vs. think deep
🔍 Interpretability - Reading the AI's actual mind
✅ Self-Correction - Internal critics that catch mistakes

3:06 - Self-Correction: The Internal Critic System
3:35 - Real-World Applications: Novel Problem Solving
4:06 - Summary: How It All Works Together

These aren't your average chatbots - they're solving novel math problems, debugging their own code, and constructing solutions they've never seen before.
