Also includes outtakes on the 'reasoning' models.

that solver would be tool use though… i’m talking about just the “thinking” LLMs. it’s fascinating to read the thinking block, because it breaks the problem down into basic chunks, solves the basic chunks (which it would have been in its training data, so easy), and solves them with multiple methods and then compares to check itself

Yeah, I think it's fascinating to read Claude's transcripts while it's working. It's crazy how you can give it a two-sentence prompt that really is quite complex task, and it splits the problems into chunks that it works through and second-guesses until it's confident (and usually correct).
