How AI Learns to Think Outside the Box

What if your phone could solve a puzzle it has never seen before? Scientists discovered a clever trick that lets modern AI models, the same kind that power chatbots, handle brand‑new problems without extra training. By giving the model a hidden “scratch‑pad” to work on, it can break down a tough question into tiny steps, check its own work, and even correct mistakes on the fly—much like a student using a notebook to solve a math problem they’ve never practiced. The team added four simple habits: a loop that adapts to each input, gentle guidance on the right steps, a locked‑down notebook that keeps ideas tidy, and a built‑in error‑checker. Together these create a breakthrough in what researchers call “out‑of‑distribution” thinking, lett…
