A recent article proposes that the current understanding of "reasoning" in large language models (LLMs) is fundamentally flawed. The author suggests adopting a new reasoning paradigm inspired by the methods used in AlphaGo, a project the author was involved with. While acknowledging that LLMs have shown improvements in areas like coding and mathematics due to similar approaches, the article questions how this can be generalized to broader domains. AI
