In this episode, we explore Stanford's groundbreaking S1 paper, which introduces a technique to transform any language model into a reasoning model for just $6 in computation costs. We dive deep into the implications of this research, discussing budget forcing techniques, the true costs of AI development, and the philosophical limits of artificial intelligence across different domains - from mathematical reasoning to language translation. The conversation extends to broader questions about superhuman AI capabilities and the fundamental limitations in various fields like translation, history, and agriculture. Join us for an insightful discussion on the future of AI reasoning and its practical applications.
