The transcript segments this claim was taken from
“When you plot the performance of these reasoning models with test time compute on the x-axis and performance on basically any reasoning benchmark on the y-axis,”
“you see a very clear pattern where the longer these models take to think about their answer,”
“the better they do.”0:50Report a misattribution
