François Chollet charts AI's shift from a transductive paradigm (token-by-token answer completion) to an inductive paradigm (on-the-fly reasoning chain synthesis), calling it the big story of 2025–2026 and the reason coding agents now work.
The reposter (gleech) urges someone to verify this model-based prediction as it spreads widely; the only datapoint seen so far: Reflection's Beam run was only 60% RL.
