Some people frequently (rightly) point out that AIs make mistakes and are not fully reliable. Indeed, hallucinations may never completely be solved.
But I am not sure that matters much. Larger models already make far less errors & many real world processes are built with error-prone humans in mind.

If you regularly work with math, I can't recommend trying out Corca enough. Corca is a beautiful collaborative math editor, dubbed 'Figma for math,' built by a team that deeply cares about math, science, and their product.

One downside of R1 / O1 -- they take just enough time I'm likely to context switch and come back later. At 30s or less I might as well wait around for the result, but ~2 mins is an awkward amount of time.

Why reasoning models will generalize
DeepSeek R1 is just the tip of the ice berg of rapid progress.
People underestimate the long-term potential of “reasoning.”
