DeepSeek-R1 Aha Moments: Harvest Self-Corrections

DeepSeek's training report and subsequent Thoughtology analysis document an emergent "aha moment" during reinforcement learning where the model reconsiders previously generated content—indicated in its <think> trace by phrases such as 'wait, ...' or 'alternatively, ...'. Inspect <think> segments containing these pivot phrases to uncover edge cases the model caught during self-verification.
