The Absolute Zero Reasoner (AZR) is an AI that can learn without human data, instructions, or external data, creating its own questions, answers, and evaluating its own progress.
AZR utilizes a self-evolution learning model where it generates its own tasks, attempts to solve them independently, evaluates the correctness of its solutions, and then adapts based on algorithmically verified rewards.
The AI operates in three reasoning modes (deduction, abduction, and induction), mirroring human thought processes in learning and problem-solving.
While AZR shows potential for advanced intelligence through emergent behaviors such as explaining thought processes in code comments and organizing solutions logically, there are concerns regarding oversight, interpretability, and limitations in its development.
