In the most recent video about quantum computing, I saw many comments expressing a similar point of confusion regarding Grover's algorithm.
I made a follow-up to (hopefully) clarify some of the issues and to address a few other under-emphasized points.

Adaptive Parallel Reasoning
LMs begin decoding from a parent thread, and can fork child threads to explore ideas independently. Results from child threads are later joined back into the parent to continue decoding.
They first train via sup. learning, then optimize E2E w/ RL
