# AI Research Update: Reasoning Models
Anthropic has released interesting research about AI reasoning models and their tendency to respond without explicitly saying “I think” or similar phrases. This study explores how large language models process information when solving problems, even when they don’t verbalize their thought process. The research provides valuable insights into how AI systems reason behind the scenes, which could help develop more transparent and effective AI assistants in the future.
For AI enthusiasts interested in cognitive processing and the inner workings of large language models, this research offers fascinating perspectives on how these systems approach reasoning tasks.

Hermes Agent Master Class
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3YOGfTBcQg Welcome to the Hermes Agent Master Class — an 11-episode series taking you from zero to fully leveraging every feature of Nous Research's open-source agent. In this first episode, we install Hermes from scratch on a brand new machine with no prior skills or memory, walk through full configuration with OpenRouter, tour the most important CLI and slash commands, and run our first real task: a competitor research report on a custom children's book AI business idea. Every future episode will build on this fresh install so you can see the compounding value of the agent in real time....
Apr 29, 2026Andrej Karpathy – Outsource your thinking, but you can’t outsource your understanding
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=96jN2OCOfLs Here's what Andrej Karpathy just figured out that everyone else is still dancing around: we're not in an era of "better models." We're in a different era of computing altogether. And the difference between understanding that and not understanding it is the difference between being a vibe coder and being an agentic engineer. Last October, Karpathy had a realization. AI didn't stop being ChatGPT-adjacent. It fundamentally shifted. Agentic coherent workflows started to actually work. And he's spent the last three months living in side projects, VB coding, exploring what's actually possible. What he found is a framework that explains...
Mar 30, 2026Andrej Karpathy on the Decade of Agents, the Limits of RL, and Why Education Is His Next Mission
A summary of key takeaways from Andrej Karpathy's conversation with Dwarkesh Patel In a wide-ranging conversation with Dwarkesh Patel, Andrej Karpathy — former head of AI at Tesla, founding member of OpenAI, and creator of some of the most popular AI educational content on the internet — shared his views on where AI is headed, what's still broken, and why he's now pouring his energy into education. Here are the key takeaways. "It's the Decade of Agents, Not the Year of Agents" Karpathy's now-famous quote is a direct pushback on industry hype. Early agents like Claude Code and Codex are...
