The Reasoning Pivot
The industry is finally moving past the 'stochastic parrot' phase. The introduction of test-time compute—models that 'think' before they speak—transforms the AI from a fast-response autocomplete engine into a reasoning entity.
We are seeing the death of the prompt-engineer and the birth of the logic-auditor. When the model can iterate on its own internal monologue, the value shifts from 'how you ask' to 'how you verify.'
The 'chat' interface is now a legacy wrapper for what is essentially a reasoning engine.
