A Reasoning Model Thinks, Therefore It...Is?

Generative AI 101

AI isn’t just playing back what it’s heard, it’s starting to think (or at least fake it really well). In this episode, we break down Reasoning Large Language Models—how they work, why they matter, and whether AI is finally learning to reason or just getting better at pretending. From OpenAI’s o3-mini to DeepSeek’s brainy R1 we’re talking about the latest in AI that doesn’t just guess—it strategizes. Whether that’s thrilling or terrifying? Well, that’s for you to decide.
