From GPT to Q-Star: Why the next leap in AI isn’t about chat — it’s about thought.
What you'll learn
- Explain why Q-Star matters and outline its role in the leap from chatbots to true reasoning AI.
- Build step-by-step reasoning agents with Q-learning, Deep Q-Networks, A* search and process supervision.
- Design, code and benchmark your own Q-Star-style architecture that plans, self-critiques and improves via synthetic data.
- Assess AI-safety risks, market wins and career moves so you can lead projects in the fast-approaching AGI era.
Requirements
- Basic Python and command-line comfort; if you can run a Jupyter notebook, you’re ready.
- High-school math and logic; no prior machine-learning experience required.
Description
What if ChatGPT was just the warm-up act?
In late 2023, something happened inside OpenAI that shook the AI world: a secret algorithm, known only as Q-Star, triggered internal warnings, public leaks, and a corporate crisis that almost tore the company apart.
Why?
Because Q* wasn’t just another chatbot.
Q* could reason.
Q* could plan.
Q* could debug its own thinking.
And if you’re still focused on prompt engineering, you’re already behind.
This course is not about AI hype. It’s about what comes next — and how you can build it.
You’ll learn the full Q-Star story:
• From corporate chaos to code
• From language models to true deliberative intelligence
• From theoretical breakthroughs to real-world applications
MODULE 1
• The leaked memo that warned Q* could “threaten humanity”
• Why Q* is different — and why that difference terrifies researchers
• The timeline of the project: from secret lab to public crisis
MODULE 2
• Q-learning, deep networks, A* search: the building blocks
• How these pieces combine into an agent that thinks before acting
• Why this changes everything about what AI is and what it can do
MODULE 3
• Chain-of-Thought, Tree-of-Thought, and Process Supervision
• How to give AI memory, judgment, and internal evaluation
• Why “thinking out loud” is key to machine reasoning
MODULE 4
• From zero to blueprint: design your own reasoning system
• Build symbolic traces and internal evaluators
• Test, benchmark, and debug your AI step by step
MODULE 5
• How Q*-style AI will reshape industries from finance to medicine
• Build systems that run multiple agents, simulate reasoning loops, and avoid catastrophic failures
• AGI safety, risks, and responsible release — without buzzwords
MODULE 6
• Build a portfolio that sinalizes rare, valuable skills
• Lead the transformation — don’t wait to be disrupted
• Position yourself at the cutting edge of AI history
Why This Matters Now
Most people are still figuring out how to write better prompts. You will be designing AI systems that don’t need them. When Q* hit OpenAI, insiders panicked — not because it failed, but because it worked too well.
If you’re serious about AI — not just using it, but shaping it — this is where you start. No fluff. No outdated slides. Just the blueprint for the future.
Who this course is for:
- Developers
- Data scientists
- Tech Founders
- AI enthusiasts who want to move beyond prompt-engineering and master reasoning AI
- Perfect for anyone who has dabbled with ChatGPT and now aims to design systems that think, plan and debug themselves
- Investors and product managers seeking a clear technical grasp of Q-Star’s impact will also gain a decisive edge
