People are allowed to evolve opinions. It seems to me he believes that a combination of transformer and program synthesis are key. The big unknown at the moment is how to do program search.

Absolutely. Presumably there is some specific considerations or evidence that helped him evolve his opinion. I would be interested in seeing a writeup about it. With him having been a very public advocate against AGI, a writeup of his evolution seems appropriate and would be very edifying for a lot of people.
I recall it as less an evolution and more a complete tonal shift the moment o3 was evaluated on ARC-AGI. I remember on Twitter Sam made some dumb post suggesting they had beaten the benchmark internally and Francois calling him out on his vagueposting. Soon as they publicly released the scores, it was like he was all-in on reasoning.
Which I have to admit I was kind of disappointed by.
What exactly is "reasoning"?
