In this episode, host Matt Paige talks with Nate Jones, a long-time AI expert and popular TikTok personality, about how AI is changing. They discuss how new reasoning models and design approaches are making large language models more than just advanced autocomplete tools.

They dive into how these models work by taking time to “think” through a problem. Nate explains that techniques like chain-of-thought and tree-of-thought allow AI to process more information before answering. They also touch on the importance of tokens and compute power, showing how these factors are changing software development and product design.

The conversation wraps up by looking at the bigger picture. Nate and Matt talk about the need to work with AI while keeping our own critical thinking skills sharp. They share personal stories, including how Nate teaches his daughter to use AI wisely, and invite listeners to explore more of Nate’s content on TikTok, Substack, and YouTube.
