The Real Difference Between Fast and Thinking AI

From the creator

System 1 vs System 2 AI models: what's actually different, and when should you use each one? With the release of Jev, everyone is talking about System 1 and System 2 models. In this video I explain the real difference between one-pass models and thinking (reasoning) models, test Jev against Qwen 3.8 with thinking on and off, and give you a simple rule for choosing between them.

AI Maker Residence at KOKO

The third AI workshop taught by our legendary teacher, Nick Sarafa. In one of the last events we did an asset manager raised an additional £25M on their fund within a space of 9 months. This is a full-day hands-on training workshop for purposeful co-creation with AI using Claude Code. Imagine having access to hundreds of billions of dollars of computing power and knowing exactly how to make it work for you through the power of super intelligence. One person did.
