Like I I think we we might be holding on to that a little bit too much and saying like oh yeah like you know a a designer or somebody will always know the the best thing to ship or the best version of this and I but I do think AI tha”

Increasing the reasoning capability of a model does not guarantee better task performance and often fails to justify the added costs and latency.

“it on on one side of the coin the AI does not get better at the task when you add more reasoning. On the other side of the coin, even when it does, it almost never in in my you know consulting outweighs the cost of having that reasoning turned on”

The AI market is currently a bubble characterized by extreme speculation and a lack of fundamental support, and it is likely in its late stages.
